Maybe we can eventually build something where for each partition with at least one device mount we run udevadm wait --settle <device> [<device>]... in a satellite thread, and we re-mount the device when it re-appears back. That way we can re-attach a device without restarting the hypervisor, for example if a USB connection got reset temporarily due to electromagnetic disturbances.

remove device field from the partition config
9885334 
This field was not used at all in the codebase, having it in the config
is misleading. Further on, it seems that there is no point in having it:
device files can be mounted through the mount option already.

Commit 53bb05e removes the device filed, thus rendering this issue invalid
