Hi,

after doing mkfs.xfs -f /dev/bcache/by-label/mybcachelabel

/dev/bcache/by-label/mybcachelabel gots removed...

Only a reboot brings it back.

Stefan
To me it happens alays when a udev event is triggered. It seems the
label isn't republished. To me the whole Folder /dev/bcache gets removed.

May i've used the wrong kernel patches on top of 3.10?
After discussing this on IRC:

The Squeeze version of udev chokes on newlines in labels, to the point
that all the device's symlinks are removed; the uuid symlinks aren't
even involved in label uevents.
As a workaround, the latest commit in [1] strips endlines when setting
the label.

Thanks, applied.

Gabriel, would you mind sending me these patches with git format-patch
or git send-email? I didn't see this until last night :)
