For some (corner) cases, it might be desirable to disable the generation of
some persistent storage symlinks that 60-persistent-storage.rules creates.
For example on big setups with a high number of partitions which uses the same
label name, this can result in a noticeable slow-down in the (re)start of the
udevd as there are many contenders for the symlink /dev/disk/by-partlabel.
However it's currently pretty hard to overwrite just some specific part of the
rule file. Indeed one need to copy and modify the whole rule file in /etc but
will lost any upcoming updates/fixes that the distro might release in the
future.
With this simple patch, one can now disable the generation of the
"by-partlabel" symlinks (for example) with the following single rule:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-no-by-partlabel.rules
ENV{ID_PART_ENTRY_NAME}=="?*", SYMLINK-="disk/by-partlabel/$env{ID_PART_ENTRY_NAME}"
Closes #24607.
