Thanks to all who have contributed to this r= elease. The tarball can be found here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/ The development repository can be found here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=3Dlinux/hotplug/udev.git;a=3Dsummary The ChangeLog can be found here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=3Dlinux/hotplug/udev.git;a=3Dblob;hb=3DHEAD;= f=3DChangeLog udev 107 =3D=3D=3D=3D Bugfixes. Symlinks can have priorities now, the priority is assigned to the device and specified with OPTIONS=3D"link_priority=100". Devices with higher priorities overwrite the symlinks of devices with lower priorities. If the device that currently owns the link, goes away, the symlink will be removed, and recreated, pointing to the next device with the highest actual priority. This should make /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid,id} more reliable, if multiple devices contain the same metadata and overwrite these symlinks. The dasd_id program is removed from the udev tree, and dasdinfo, with the needed rules, are part of the s390-tools now. Please add KERNEL=3D"[0-9]*:[0-9]*" to the scsi wait-for-sysfs rule, we may get the scsi sysfs mess fixed some day, and this will only catch the devices we are looking for. USB serial numbers for storage devices have the target:lun now appended, to make it possibble to distinguish broken multi-lun devices with all the same SCSI identifiers. Note: The extra "run_directory" which searches and executes stuff in /etc/hotplug.d/ and /etc/dev.d/ is long deprecated, and will be removed with the next release. Make sure, that you don't use it anymore, or provides your own implementation of that inefficient stuff. We are tired of reports about a "slow udev", because these directories contain stuff, that runs with _every_ event, instead of using rules, that run programs only for the matching events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
