Subject: udev question
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:46:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CC5C26B.9060002@googlemail.com> (raw)

A simple question: in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (on the root partition!) I have 
a .rules file for one of my smartcard devices which has, among other 
things, this statement:

PROGRAM="/bin/sleep 0.1"

This program is not on the initramfs image, but it is in the /bin 
directory on the root partition. I was under the impression that root is 
not mounted until udev has finished its job - is that not the case? If 
so, how is this program executed then? I also have a lot of other 
statements with RUN+=... which also refer to executables not present in 
initramfs - they are all present in the root partition. When/How do 
these execute then?

Am I missing something fundamental here?
