2009-09-07udevadm: remove symlink support for old commandsKay Sievers
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.

2009-02-11udevd: optionally watch device nodes with inotifyScott James Remnant
This allows you to re-process the rules if the content of the device has been changed, most useful for block subsystem to cause vol_id to be run again.

2009-01-20Expose delayed name resolutionScott James Remnant
udevd had the ability to delay name resolution until the event, but this was never exposed. Add a --resolve-names=late option to do so.
2009-01-20Allow user and group lookup to be disabled.Scott James Remnant
In certain cut-down situations such as an installer or inside the initramfs, we simply don't have any kind of name service. While we could use rules without OWNER or GROUP, it's better to have the same rules as a full system and have udevd ignore those parts of the rules. Adds a --resolve-names=never switch to udevd that has this effect.
