Re: [gentoo-user] Unknown problem causing incorrect mounting and daemons not starting

[John Runyon <me@jfr.im>]

I wouldn't expect the symlink to fix anything without a reboot (since the main problem is at startup time). I'm not sure if the dbus issue is separate or not - if it is the same it seems odd that it won't start even after getting everything mounted by hand, anyway.
