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
