The commit e64943363a introduces hashed
path at the end of the filename. But we can easily generate the path
which conflicts another path. The issue will be fixed in later commit.
The usual: bitfields make sense as a memory-saving measure when we have many
objects of a given type. When the object appears at most in a few copies, the
overhead of additional code to access bitfields is more than the savings.
With the previous commit, we would not complain about the not-found path, but
the check is still not useful. We use a libc function to resolve the glob, and
it has no notion of treating autofs specially. So we can't avoid touching
autofs when resolving globs. But usually the glob is found in the last
component of the path, so if we strip the glob part, we can still do a useful
check in many cases. (E.g. if /var/tmp is on autofs, something like
"/var/tmp/<glob>" is much more likely than "/var/<glob-that-matches-tmp>/<something>".)
With the system config in F34, we check the following prefixes:
/var/tmp/abrt/* → /var/tmp/abrt/
/run/log/journal/08a5690a2eed47cf92ac0a5d2e3cf6b0/*.journal* → /run/log/journal/08a5690a2eed47cf92ac0a5d2e3cf6b0/

Lines in the dumps are ordered by some pseudo-random hashmap entry order, which
makes it hard to diff two outputs. This sort the entries alphabetically, and
also sorts items within the entries, and supresses timestamps and other fields
which always vary.
We could sort the output inside of systemd itself, but it'd make things more
complex, and we probably don't need output to be sorted in most cases. It also
wouldn't be enough, because timestamps and such would still need to be ignored
to do a nice diff. So I think doing the sorting and suppression in a python
helper is a better approach.
unit_serialize_item() was dropped in d68c645bd3.
But "cannot be restored from other sources" is also not entirely true: for
example for mounts we may be able to figure out most state from /p/s/mountinfo.
So let's make the comment more oblique.
If the name of the old device didn#t work for us, we don't have to clean
anything up, since we know for sure that there won't be a device unit
for it. hence downgrade log message about it.
We want to propagate errors here, since we want to make dependent on the
success of creating the main device unit the creation of the auxiliary
device units. Thus if we suppress errors here we might end up in exotic
corner cases in a situation were we create the auxiliary ("following")
device units without the primary one.
