Sure, it's the first step in this direction, we are still working on it. It didn't work at all with older kernels, that's why we skipped the events for these devices in the past. > However, the above is really > tangential, so I see no problem with including it in Debian. > > If you can confirm then I shall try to get it in. Right, it creates stuff in /dev/disk. It hooks into the "change" events the kernel sends when the devices become online, or tables change. So it creates the uuid/label links for the contained filesystem data, and some by-id links to identify the device itself.
