Subject: cleaning up udev nodes after crash
Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2004 06:06:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040103060624.46377.qmail@web14909.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Since I write device drivers I keep killing my box and rebooting (especially
when I misprogram DMA registers). After a crash all of the device nodes in /udev
are permamently in /udev. starting/stopping udev won't clean them up. I can
clean up manually with rm -rf /udev but shouldn't this happen automatically?
I though udev was a virtual file system, why do the nodes endup on disk anyway?
At least I think they are on disk, I stopped udev and they are still there.
