If later rules assign +a NAME value again, the former value will be overwritten. As usual +for most other keys, the NAME value can be protected by doing a final +assignment with NAME:="<value>". + +Many thanks to Alan Jenkins for finding and optimizing some of the +computing expensive parts. udev 130 ======== |
