[Bug 575333] Re: On boot keeps trying to mount "UDEVD-WORK..../dev/null"

[Stan Williams Music]

I am using 10.10 and this problem just recently appeared, HP desktop, dual boot Win XP, though I haven't used the Windows much, the problem only recently appeared and I was  thinking along the lines of what  @  
 Technomage (technode) posted above:
"Since "/dev/null' is listed as a Virtual Memory Device, could the problem be trying to access virtual memory BEFORE it is mounted?"

       Strangely enough the reason I searched this topic  was because  I
was worried if perhaps I had somehow picked up a Rootkit perhaps,
though I do not use VNC or even any server, and use a 13 digit pw to log
on, but when it at boot up  I assumed  it was trying to mount a location
that had not been created yet, and because  the problem has  only
recently started...

So I suppose that makes me paranoid , but like I said earlier this
problem only recently appeared a week ago, or maybe less and now I find
this  Bug report and so thought I would post my occurrence of it.

This box  (the one with the  aforementioned bug( "UDEVD-WORK..../dev/null")) ,  is running  10.10 Maverick and Has Been with No problems for a few months , Never had this problem until last week,  perhaps it Was after  an update, as there have been several lately, though I do not remember for sure, but I do not think it appeared at upgrade to 2.6.35-30  and I am almost certain it appeared afterward, like a week ago or so, (I usually would have investigated sooner but things have  been hectic lately) ,  and interestingly enough,  my other similar box Very similar,  HP same vintage  dual boot Win XP, etc, running beside it with 10.10 does Not have the problem, at least not yet...
Both boxes always being updated daily  as I apply updates as they are released, and usually check on a daily basis.

  If it helps to clarify anything in  anyones mind who knows a lot more than me about Unix commands,  as most of you on here assuredly do,   I built this box from a minimal install, added desktop and X  manually from the terminal until I got a GUI or desktop installed, then kept adding until I got  what I wanted on here, but I  Did install 10.10 on the other box with a live CD that  I burned with this box the second go round, found it a tad easier :-) 
Did a  full install from the CD, Though I feel relatively certain, in my mind at least that the install method is unrelated to this particular occurrence of this "bug" or problem,on my box at least,  especially since the problem only appeared for the first time about a few days ago and it had been working great Without it for months,  So I am going to keep looking, though I do not know enough.
 I just thought I would post this in case it helps anyone  to figure it out, and  I will check back  often to see what has been found regarding this "bug".
