2018-11-09 14:38:14 Dan Streetman systemd (Ubuntu): status New Fix Released
2018-11-09 14:50:43 Dan Streetman description [impact] udev (in trusty) does not create symlinks in /dev/disk/by-path/ for any disks that are connected via sata. [test case] Install trusty onto a system with sata drives, and check /dev/disk/by-path/ for symlink(s) to those sata drive(s). [regression potential] the (s)ata by-path symlinks were removed due to apparent possibility of non-uniqueness: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/hotplug/udev.git/commit/?id=481dcf7c8f however that was *long* ago and it has been added back in: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/ba86822db70d9ffd02ad78cd02b237ff8c569c7a if there is still a possibility for non-uniqueness, then /dev/disk/by-path/ symlink(s) might be created that are non-deterministic as far as the actual disk/path they point to.

[other info] this is 'fixed' (the by-path symlinks are created for ata disks) in Xenial and later systemd/udev. Also bug 1611945 indicates that sata devices connected via PMP (port multiplier device) may still have incorrect by-path symlinks created, even upstream.

However, since Xenial and later currently do have udev code that creates ata by-path symlinks, that is a separate issue and not a reason for keeping ata by-path symlinks about of trusty udev.
