                     Mandrake Linux Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name: devfsd
Advisory ID: MDKA-2003:007
Date: May 1st, 2003

Affected versions: 9.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A problem in devfsd as released with Mandrake Linux 9.1 allowed users
 to mount filesystems from rd raid disks, but prevented them from
 regenerating the LILO mbr. Devfsd provides compatibility links on
 the devfs filesystem for new device names, and for /dev/rd/* devices,
 it provided partition links and whole disk links. The latter were
 broken, but not the former. Because of this, mounting would work
 because the filesystem links were correct, but running lilo would fail
 because the disk links were broken.
 
 This new devfsd corrects the problem, however users will have to
 manually remove the broken links otherwise devfsd will "remember"
 the old, broken links. To do this, execute, as root:
 
   rm -rf /lib/dev-state/rd
 
 This update also fixes /dev/hd not appearing for root on the first
 login, and also a minilogd/initlog deadlock that sometimes appears
 during the bootstrap. The /dev/log entry is created by the log
 daemon, but devfsd may restore it on bootup making minilogd believe
 that the log daemon is up and running when in fact it is not.
 
 Updated initscripts packages also help with the minilogd/initlog
 deadlock issue.
