It can be inaccesable/inresponsive when killall5 is running, for example if it is a fuser file system, because the user space process needed to access / is SIGSTOPed. It migth be safer to chdir to /dev/ to make sure udevd do not have to look up / to update /dev/. >> BTW, if udevd should survive runlevel 1 (which is not the same as >> single user), there need to be start symlink in rc1.d/. > Why if it is not going to be killed? My idea was to make sure it isn't started again when switching from runlevel 1 to any of 2-5. But if udev do not have start symlinks in runlevels 2-5 either, that should not be needed. Ie either Default-start: S Default-stop: or Default-Start: S 1 2 3 4 5 Default-Stop: Should work if killprocs do not kill udevd, and I see now that udev uses the former.
