I'm using the new udev with a separate /usr partition. It was encrypted, and it seems there is no solution yet for this, so I moved it over to an unencrypted volume - no problem, /usr is one partition where encryption does not make that much sense anyway. Works, but after an unclean shutdown (reading files in /proc// was not a good idea) /usr wants to be fsck'ed. But it is already mounted at that stage. The boot process just continues, but I wonder what one should do to make the fsck run. Except for using a live cd. Maybe I should just enlarge my root partition and move /usr there, at least this would avoid all the trouble. But I'm used to many separate partitions, and like it that way. Wonko
