Nothing has changed, it's just configurable now for setups which don't use the "fork-bomb" anymore. > Should I leave it at the default? Make it empty? Or do I need to replace > hotplug by some other magic command? Do nothing, leave it at the default value, if you are unsure about your setup. If your system works without it, you save a few cycles at bootup. > Please extend the help text to give some context and indication of how to > use this option. We can't really tell, it entirely depends on the distro, setup, udev integration, initramfs. Old initramfs setups might need it, even on a udev system without any /sbin/hotplug like stuff installed. You would need to look in your initramfs image if it contains a /sbin/hotplug.
