Installations which support old kernels, but install current default udev rules may need to add that to the compat rules file. +Libvolume_id now always probes for all known filesystems, and does not +stop at the first match. Some filesystems are marked as "exclusive probe" +and if one of these filesytem types match, libvolume_id will not return +a probing result if any other filesystem type matches. This is intended +to help with conflicting left-over signatures from earlier file system +formats. That way, we no longer depend on the probing order for competing +signatures. +In some cases the kernel allows to mount a volume with the old filesystem +type, before it has been re-formatted with a different type. This can +damage the new filesystem and lead to data loss. Because volume_id can +not decide which is the correct signature, the wrong signatures need to +be removed manually from the volume, or the volume needs to be reformatted +to make filesystem auto-detection and possible auto-mounting working. + udev 132 ======== |
