Yocto uses this feature in a number of configurations; it creates an
archive "/etc/dev.tar" on the first boot and, if this archive exists
during the next boot, it gets extracted and most of the coldplug
events are filtered. Only if the archive does not exist a full scan is
performed.

This accelerates booting in static configurations, but also causes
problems because cold plugged devices may not get detected (see

This appears to be way to high.  All that needs to be done is using a
Yocto based file system :-)

Alternatively copy the "udev-cache" recipies from Yocto resp.
openembedded-core.

Best regards,
