The set of links in /dev/disk/by-id is incomplete

Description

The CD kernel comes with the "edd" module, but it is never loaded. Thus, symlinks like /dev/disk/by-id/edd-int13_dev80 never show up. One can, of course, load the "edd" module after booting, but that's too late (it is needed to run "udevtrigger" again in order to obtain the symlinks).

Change History

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.

WONTFIX, because the kernel help text says that it is known that kernels with the edd driver fail to boot on some obscure configurations.

  • status changed from closed to reopened.
  • resolution deleted.

As of r2080, one can add "load=edd" to the boot line and get the full set of symlinks. Reopening, because Trac doesn't allow direct "wontfix" => "fixed" changes.
