We can not predict the major/minor of non-existing devices: $ grep . /sys/class/block/sd*/dev /sys/class/block/sda1/dev:259:524288 /sys/class/block/sda2/dev:259:262144 /sys/class/block/sda3/dev:259:786432 /sys/class/block/sda4/dev:259:131072 /sys/class/block/sda/dev:259:0 /sys/class/block/sdb/dev:259:655360 /sys/class/block/sdc/dev:259:393216 If this functionality is still needed for some broken hardware, it needs to be solved with a tool not part of the udev package. Because such option is unreliable and unsafe to use.

2009-11-30input: Deprecate ENV{ID_CLASS}Martin Pitt
The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEYS,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}. Rewrite 60-persistent-input.rules to use the new properties now and not export ID_CLASS any more, since it is not used by anything else any more. Add note about migration to NEWS, in case this is being used in custom rules.

2009-11-19rules: remove support for IDE (hd*) devicesKay Sievers
The kernel IDE drivers get deprecated now: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/43151 Almost everybody has switched over to libata devices long ago. Recent services do not work with the now deprecated IDE drivers at all and require libata drivers and SCSI infrastructure. Systems who care about the old stuff need to add the rules to the compat rules.

2009-11-16remove "ignore_device"Kay Sievers
There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed, which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.

2009-10-28remove "last_rule" optionKay Sievers
Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an idication that something needs to be fixed properly instead.

2009-09-09simplify "symlink name stack"Kay Sievers
With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names. Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices. This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name stack - they are unique and can not conflict.

2009-08-19change database file namesKay Sievers
With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as the database filename, which should also simplify the handling of devices moving around, as these values will not change but still be unique. For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename. > On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 09:59:56AM -0400, Ric Wheeler wrote: > The first is that udev grumbles during boot about "file name too long" > like the following: > > Aug 17 06:49:58 megadeth udevd-event[20447]: unable to create db file > '/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:04.0\x2f0000:17:00.0\x2f0000:18:0a.0\x2f0000:1f:00.0\x2fhost11\x2fport-11:0\x2fexpander-11:0\x2fport-11:0:0\x2fexpander-11:1\x2fport-11:1:0\x2fexpander-11:2\x2fport-11:2:17\x2fexpander-11:3\x2fport-11:3:1\x2fend_device-11:3:1\x2fbsg\x2fend_device-11:3:1': > File name too long

2009-08-06"record_failed" -> "fail_event_on_error"Kay Sievers
2009-08-06re-enable failed event trackingKay Sievers
It did not work for the last couple of releases. If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with: udevadm trigger --type=failed The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that something is used in a way it should not.

2009-06-04udevd: convert to event worker processesKay Sievers
Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the no longer needed worker processes get killed.
