Udev error, warning for users...

I added this rule:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … 3B_ntfs-3g

to my config. After I did this, I rebooted and when it got to the udev section, my PC just turned off. I had to reboot, go to fallback mode and wait until it finished searching udev devices and then went to telling me that sda1 and sda4 cannot be mounted. Then the CTL-D or enter password thing came up. I entered my password. After I removed the rule I was able to boot successfully. Installed devmon and everything is fine without the rule.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue and if I should maybe add this to the wiki as a warning.

It's not really surprising, given that the rule is vague enough to catch and try to mount any block device. You can modify the rule to...

- not catch sda (e.g. KERNEL!=sd[b-z])
or...
- abort if the device doesn't match ENV{ID_BUS}=="usb"
