udev and inotify

udev and inotify

[qxc]

Hi,

after I have tried it in different webboards and also in different mailing lists from vger.kernel.org without success I afraid I have to ask my question here (guessing that it is definitely the wrong mailing list):

I have compiled a special kernel without inotify and dnotify because the target system is very static and doesn't needs them (but kernel size is important on that system).

Unfortunately now I get an error message from udev that inotify is missing and therefore udev can't check if its cofiguration files change (what never will happen on that system).

So my question is: how do I get rid of that error message? Can I set a udev option somewhere that turns it off? It is verty irritating for users because it displays an error that is no error...

Thx

Mike

After locking into the source.
udevd.c, main-function.
Just look for the "inotify_init". It's the if/else if/else after that

The error-message doesn't depend on any further conditions.
If you want to get rid of it, you have to patch it out, getting rid of 
the else if and else should to the trick.

udev and inotify

[qxc]

Hi,

I'm not sure if that is the correct mailing list but I'll try it:

I use a special kernel for a very special linux system. That kernel doesn't includes inotify and dnotify because it is not needed on the target platform.

But now on system startup udev complains about missing inotify, it can't read configuration file changes because of that. After the configuration files will not be changed and the error message is irritating my question is if there is a way to disable udev from printing that error message?

Kind regards

Michael
