this patch corrects ide devices with number greater than 9 being linked
into wrong discs/discX directories (my hda10 device was in discs/disc1
directory)
it adds % into pattern for $DRIVE, so for example, hda10 is not eaten
to hda1, but to hda, and break in for cycle works for it
Optimize the scripts reflecting the now more powerful rule logic,
cause we can combine all known fields now in any order:
The ide-devfs.sh is only executed if the kernel name matches with 'hd*':
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/ide-devfs.sh %k %b %n", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="%1c %2c"
The name_cdrom.pl is only executed for ide and scsi devices, but not for a partition.
It exits with nonzero to skip the rule if the CD is not found:
KERNEL="[hs]d[a-z]", PROGRAM="name_cdrom.pl %M %m", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="cdrom"
I had too much time during the holidays, so I played a bit with udev. The
changes are like last time mostly on the init stuff. I'm sending you this as
a great diff which is just for comments.
What it does:
-fix a typo in Makefile
-use only one "grep -v" instead of many
-don't include BK-Files into release (shrinks the stuff to 30%!)
-add a new init script which is LSB compliant
-add some flags to choose which one to use
-use /etc/udev/udev.conf in Redhat init script as the source for the udev
directory. If this is not done then the init script may create a directory
which udev itself isn't using (I changed /udev to /Udev to avoid collisions
with /usr and ran into this)
-first check for sysfs_dir before creating udev_root (maybe someone else has
already fixed this, I saw this discussion on lkml)
Here is a experimental CALLOUT script for udev to create devfs nodes
for IDE-devices. Not that I need these, I just wanted to see if it works :)
The script is really stupid, no error handling, nothing more than
absolutely needed. The rule uses the 'k' format char of the previous
patch. The %D is not used, so the user can have disc or disk :)
this single line:
CALLOUT, BUS="ide", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/ide-devfs.sh %k %b %n", ID="hd*", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c"
creates the following on my machine with two hard disks, one DVD and a PCMCIA-compact-flash inserted:
/udev
