From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Kay Sievers Date: Sat, 09 Aug 2008 12:21:37 +0000 Subject: FYI: /lib/udev/rules.d/ /etc/udev/rules.d/ and duplicated rules Message-Id: <1218284497.31266.46.camel@lgn.site> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I've committed a change, to ignore rules files with identical file names found in /lib/udev/rules.d/, /etc/udev/rules.d/ and /dev/.udev/rules.d/. The files in /etc/udev/rules/ (and /dev/.udev/rules.d/) have precedence over files in /lib/udev/rules.d/. This allows the custom system config in /etc to overwrite whole rules files of the default rules. If empty files are created, udev will completely ignore the default rules files with the same name. Thanks, Kay
