In my head, runlevel 1 So far nobody provided a compelling argument about why it should not.

The only files udev keeps open are on /dev, and it's almost impossible to unmount it anyway. I am not aware of other daemons which should run in single user mode. Since without udev /dev will not stay in sync with reality I think it is reasonable to believe that it is a fundamental system component which should be active even in single user mode. I also argue that it should not even be stopped, because then events may be lost. > 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. I am also not very fond of adding complexity to my packages because the maintainers of other packages are unwilling to properly fix bugs in their own package, so we may have a problem here. -- ciao, Marco
