Can you explain why you do not believe the fix should happen in udev? Personally, I believe the best solution would be to add a simpler script in runlevels 2 to 5 to restart udev if it was stopped in runlevel 1, and only use the existing udev script with a lot of extra stuff going on in rcS.d/. I guess the design question that need to be decided, is if udev should be running in runlevel 1 or not, and that again depend on the understanding of what runlevel 1 should be. In my head, runlevel 1 should give the sysadmin a system without any daemons running, to be able to edit files and partitions without having any processes blocking the work. > A simple fix could be something like: > > DONTKILL=$(for p in $(pgrep udev); do echo "-o $p"; done) > killall5 $DONTKILL > > Feel free to close this bug if you do not want to modify initscripts. I am not very fond of special casing for individual packages in the initscripts package, and very reluctant to add such code in init.d/killprocs.
