[solved] udev [xxx] 'sbin/blkid' ressize 1024 too short

My Arch won't boot. Whole thing started few days ago after boot message: /usr is not mounted. This is not supported.
So I had separate /usr and after googling I found I'd better merge root and usr.

I use luks and crypttab contains uuid's. Somehow I think this problem has something to do with partitions. Besides I had to install other distro to make fault finding easier.

So far I've chrooted Arch and run mkinitcpio -p linux. It didn't help. I also commented most partitions from crypttab and fstab, just in case.

So boot starts ok and asks luks passphrase. After that there is lot udev 'sbin/blkid' ressize 1024 too short messages.
After that I can see just before reboot loop starts that cryptsetup opens home.

I don't know any more what to google or try.

My problem turned out to be corrupted luks header in two disks. I commented out those disks from crypttab and finally I was able to login.
