My guess would be that blkid does not read the UUID and label of the
partition correctly. AFAIK, udev relies on blkid to obtain the
information that is necessary to populate the /dev/disk/by-label/ and
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ directories. Here is an example of how it should
work:
$ /sbin/blkid /dev/sda5
/dev/sda5: LABEL="root" UUID="d0100d2c-69e9-4a37-bf17-9af5ff151032"
TYPE="ext3"
Rick, if "/sbin/blkid /dev/sdc1" fails report anything on your system
then show us the output of:
BLKID_DEBUG=0xffff /sbin/blkid /dev/sdc1
