In Ubuntu, we have switch to lszdev / chzdev tooling late in the 16.04 LTS development cycle both for the installer and the installed system management of devices. I like that it can [de-]serialize and persistent and manages cio_ignore too. And one can enable devices ahead of time too (e.g. when said device does not exist on the system yet). It's really good, and scales well, during development cycle we saw races and bugs with older hwup/down tooling, which chzdev complete replaces, by generating efficient rock solid modern udev rules. I see that lszdev/chzdev is really cross-platform tooling for device management for all Linux on z systems. -- Regards, Dimitri. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
