Florin's udev bump to 168 broke my box. Looking at this superficially and just 
noting what happened and this box configuration;

This box has three drives;

/dev/sda1  - swap
/dev/sda2 - /boot
/dev/sda3 - /

/dev/sdb1 - /home
/dev/sdd1 - /var

systemd is installed with no modifications and these are not set in the kernel;

# CONFIG_CGROUPS is not set (actually thought I had that set but seems not)
# CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP is not set

So from yesterday it was; lunar update; new udev gets installed; reboot.

Boot up fine, even got to kdm login. Trying to login in and kdm barks about 
ConsoleKit. Alt-F1; look at /var/ and its skimpy. There is no lib. state, 
spool and a few others I forget.

I take a look at fstab and the only /dev/sdX shown is;

UUID=b0c2b781-968e-47e6-8290-f24043ef4ef6       /       ext4    defaults        
0 0

So I add the missing /dev/sdX and reboot; all is well.

This morning I lin -c udev (168) which kicks of a lin -c of systemd, udev and 
dbus.

Reboot and have the same problem as before; missing /dev/sdX and /etc/fstab 
again shows only the / . So I poke around and some minutes later look as fstab 
again and now it shows;

UUID=b0c2b781-968e-47e6-8290-f24043ef4ef6       /       ext4    defaults        
0 0
UUID=56bfb11d-1c1a-449e-ad9a-0457fc89b93e       /boot   ext4    defaults        
0 0
UUID=2dbb54e8-d3c3-4c1b-8710-6ff8ea24e647       /home   ext4    defaults        
0 0
UUID=f7b6b356-4ed2-4827-897f-6d9b8a77f892       /var    ext4    defaults        
0 0
UUID=84856d2e-4f16-46c2-b831-37516d4bc2ef       swap    swap    defaults                
0 0

Bear in mind I did not manually edit fstab this go round.

So it seems from a superficial analysis; if you have one drive as lunar is 
setup at this time it will always see / and addition /dev/sdX will get added 
auto-magically but not when they are needed.

If someone has the developer cojones to try this in a box with a single drive 
it would be helpful.
