From fd9efc00a2e477423185c993b8ec4570ef3ee07d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "kay.sievers@vrfy.org" Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2005 06:03:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] introduce OPTIONS=ignore_device, ignore_remove, all_partitions" key Here we move all possible options into a own key to make it possible to have options-only rules. The options on the NAME key are removed from the man page and will be removed from a future version of udev. For ignore rules, OPTIONS="ignore" should be used. The rule: SUBSYSTEM="block", SYSFS{removable}="1", OPTIONS="all_partitions" will create all partitions for a block device which is known to have removable media (a check for cdrom drives would be needed too). --- udev.8.in | 29 +++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) (limited to 'udev.8.in') diff --git a/udev.8.in b/udev.8.in index 3fb4bdb8da..936ec15d2a 100644 --- a/udev.8.in +++ b/udev.8.in @@ -145,20 +145,6 @@ call. .B NAME The name of the node to be created, or the name, the network interface should be renamed to. -.br -If given with the attribute -.BR NAME{ all_partitions } -.B udev -will create device nodes for all 15 partitions of a blockdevice. -This may be useful for removable media devices. -.br -If given with the attribute -.BR NAME{ ignore_remove } -.B udev -will ignore any later remove event for this device. -This may be useful as a workaround for broken device drivers. -.sp -Multiple attributes may be separated by comma. .TP .B SYMLINK The name of a symlink targeting the node.
