Some other systems work in a different way: they fail the entire uevent if /etc is mounted read-only in hope that a script will retrigger it later. So: * Either the Debian script should be included as-is and its expectation about copying rules in the udev-mtab script has to be documented * Or the Debian script has to be made configurable in order to adapt to the two above-mentioned configurations (i.e., "copy rules" vs "retrigger uevents"). -- Alexander E.
