Package: udev
Version: 204-5
Severity: minor
File: /etc/init.d/udev
Hi,
In the start function of the initscript "udevadm settle" is being
called with a message that suggest that /dev will be fully populated
after it returns.
# wait for the udevd childs to finish
log_action_begin_msg "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated"
if udevadm settle; then
log_action_end_msg 0
else
log_action_end_msg 0 'timeout'
fi
;;
>From a recent discussion I had on #udev, I've the feeling that this
message is misleading (if not wrong). I guess this needs to be
rephrased.
Something like "Waiting for the event queue to be fully processed" seems to
match more what's really happening at that moment.
Cheers

For the reasons above, I'm going to close this bug report.
I don't think it would help our users to have technically more correct
message, which is much harder to understand. For someone to understand
the finer details of udevadm settle, simply changing the start message
will not be sufficient.
If you disagree, feel free to reopen :-)
