Hi all,
What's /dev/bus/usb? On Wheezy, this is where you must aim your
inotifywait command to detect insertion and removal of flash drives.
As I understand it, it is a concatenation from the dev directory
root (which is /dev) and a "syspath", provided by the kernel
(that is bus/usb). The concatenation is performed by udev and
applied as result of a builtin rule (i.e. this is not in
/lib/udev/rules.d or whatever).
Is /dev/bus/usb used on Devuan?
Apparently so.
lsb_release -id && ls -ld /dev/bus/usb/001/001
Distributor ID: Devuan
Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 (ascii)
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 0 Aug 19 04:55 /dev/bus/usb/001/001
It is a drop-in replacement for the previous usbfs which was mounted
at /proc/bus/usb. As I understand it, it has the same layout and
implements a subset of the former's features.
Is /dev/bus/usb a udev thang, and if so, does vdev continue the
tradition?
I could not yet identify the exact code that accomplishes this
syspath and/or device path naming either in kernel or in udev.
On the vdev end, it's much easier, the code that implements is:
https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev/blob/master/vdevd/helpers/LINUX/usb-name.sh
So the answer to the second part of your question is yes.
Kind regards,
T.
