Hi, this is a general question about GNU/Linux.
I have some doubts about the way hotplug / coldplug / udev work. I mean, some distros do not use hotplug (I'm not sure if it's basic in gentoo) and are able to plug a (i.e) pendrive and kernel detects it, udev creates its device, someone mounts it, etc... An my question is that. What really happen when you plug a (again, i.e.) pendrive in your computer? Which programs take care in that process? What about kernel? Sorry if you fell spammed, but I do not find a good guide for dummies :-) Cheers! -- Arnau Bria http://blog.emergetux.net Wiggum: Dispara a las ruedas Lou. Lou: eee, es un tanque jefe.
