Right. Perhaps the first caveat is that I trimmed down the installation (without DE etc and only leaving standard utilites) by purging as much as I thought sensible.

Other than that, I made vdev installation as per README, then:

a) changed /etc/vdev/vdevd.conf to in particular have
   logfile=/run/vdev/vdev.log
   (the /var directory is ro when it starts)

b) add missing /etc/vdev/acl directory, and copied in the file
   00-whitelist-root.acl from the example directory
(the acl directory was missing and it just looked like a good idea to include that file; not sure why)

c) [also for testing] fixed the paths in example/vdevd.conf for acls, actions, ifnames and hwdb, which pointed wrong. The hwdb in particular needs to be right for making the initramfs.

I believe that's all. I'm planning to retry this on a DE installation shortly.

regards,

Ralph.

FWIW, I know very little about Devuan package building, so I jumped
straight to compiling the github source for vdev, and installing from
it. After just a couple of tweaks of the runtime and  initramfs
configurations, I've made a successful replacement on a pristine
Devuan 1.0.0 install, with the 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel.

Of course I don't know anything about how complete it is in respect of
handling all sorts of devices.

By any chance you could share procedure since I tried the same and failed?

Not git and compiling of course but how you got it to cooperate with Devuan
