installed udev-075
rewrote udev init.d-script, based on SUSE10: http://sukzessiv.net/udev
made /lib/udev for scripts,etc and /lib/udev/devices for static device
nodes (currently: fd, stdin, stdout, stderr, core)
removed last lines of 25-lfs.rules (running programs in /etc/dev.d
/etc/hotplug.d)
removed tmpfs mount /dev/shm and devpts mount /dev/pts from /etc/fstab
as this is being mounted by the udev script
any comments on this one?
1) Your configuration doesn't autoload modules when one plugs a USB
device (e.g. a flash drive) in. You need to add "modalias" rules for this.
2) Your setup is not reliable. Initial hotplug events triggered by
"uevent" files in sysfs are processed in the background, this means that
the "swap" or "checkfs" initscript may run (and fail, thus making the
whole system unbootable) before udev creates the relevant device node.
Udev developers have a solution (visible event queue on disk) for the
second problem, but that is not part of any released udev version, and
Marco d'Itri (Debian maintainer of the udev package) says that it is
still racy. For now, you may want to use the following hack in the end
of the script:
while [ $(cat /proc/*/status 2> /dev/null | grep -c -E '^Name:.udevd?$')
-gt 1 ]; do
sleep 1
done
