The +/run mountpoint is supposed to be a tmpfs mounted during early boot, +available and writable to for all tools at any time during bootup, +it replaces /var/run/, which should become a symlink some day. + +If /run does not exist, or is not writable, udev will fall back using +/dev/.udev/. + +On systemd systems with initramfs and LVM used, packagers must +make sure, that the systemd and initramfs versions match. The initramfs +needs to create the /run mountpoint for udev to store the data, and +mount this tmpfs to /run in the rootfs, so the that the udev database +is preserved for the udev version started in the rootfs. + +The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon +itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary. + +The systemd services files have been reorganized. The udev control +socket is bound by systemd and passed to the started udev daemon. +The udev-settle.service is no longer active by default. Services which +can not handle hotplug setups properly need to actively pull it in, to +act like a barrier. Alternatively the settle service can be unconditionally +'systemctl'enabled, and act like a barrier for basic.target. + +The fstab_import callout is no longer built or installed. Udev +should not be used to mount, does not watch changes to fstab, and +should not mirror fstab values in the udev database. + udev 166 ======== Bugfixes. +New and updated keymaps. + udev 165 ======== Bugfixes.
