Hello Jude,

Yes, /lib/vdev exists on initrd. Please have a look on the output of
lsinitramfs of vdev's initrd and its comparison with non-vdev's initrd
on
https://minifora.eu/public/devuan/vdev/lsinitramfs_initrd_vdev_and_non-vdev_20Apr15_1.tar.gz.

Did you have a look on the initramfs.debug log?

According to that initramfs.debug log, vdev's initrd can not find the
following scripts:

mount_top
mount_premount
mount_bottom
nfs_bottom
local_bottom

Is it possible that it should actually use the following scripts instead?

init-top
init-premount
init-bottom
nfs-bottom
local-bottom

Cheers,

Anto
