Package: udev
Version: 0.114-2
Severity: normal
Having set udev_root in /etc/udev/udev.conf, I see via strace and logs
that udevd is still touching /dev:
Dec 22 04:47:29 betty udevd-event[1500]: update_link:
'disk/by-label/CANON_DC' with target 'hde1' has the highest priority
0, create it
Dec 22 04:47:29 betty udevd-event[1500]: node_symlink: creating
symlink '/dev/disk/by-label/CANON_DC' to '../../hde1'
etc. And indeed, that's where it gets made:
betty:/dev/disk% ll /dev/disk/by-label/CANON_DC
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 22 04:47 /dev/disk/by-label/CANON_DC -
../../hde1
betty:/dev/disk%
Can you please get it to move to where udev_root is set to?
And note that udevinfo at least is trying to PARSE udev.conf, which is a SHELL
file! It can't do that.
Also, init.d/udev was full of attempts to touch /dev, instead of
confining itself to $udev_root.
Please let me know where to patch the code to stop the use of /dev when
udev_root is specified, as a matter of urgency. It's not clear to me!
Regards
Peter
