Bug#762037: race in udev root device detection leaves root mounted read-only

[Gianluigi Tiesi]

Package: systemd
Severity: important

Hi,
after upgrading systemd/udev to version 215-4, my system starts degraded
because root remains read-only. I cannot easly see early messages,
delaying the boot with an fsck or debug on commandline does not exposes the problem.

The problem does not occurs using sysvinit-core

Regards
