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

[Johan Prins]

Just saw this error the first time today, (it just displays, while boot
goes on), and am surprised to see that it is an old, unsolved bug that
is ignored by Canonical (they have too much 'real' trouble to fight, I
guess).

I 'vote' for the theory that the error is a timing issue at boot time,
like other weird errors I have seen that don't affect the final result
of boot-up.

Since the boot process includes executing multiple threads that can run into some "not yet!" sort of problems, I presume
we will see this sort of error messages more often in the future, until some timing management of the boot process is added.

Sadly enough, we will go the same way as the Microsoft world, if ever
the top brains lose track of what's actually happening inside Linux.
