udev database is incompatible (klibc libc and mode_t)

udev database is incompatible (klibc libc and mode_t)

[Kay Sievers]

Hi,
it seems that klibc's mod_t is only unsigned short and libc
is unsigned int. So our db format is incompatible between udev's
compiled with different c-lib's.

What is the right fix for this?

I found it cause my db was created with libc-udev and klibc-udev
was unable to insert records in the database.


thanks,
Kay

Ick.  We might as well store this as a unsigned int then to make sure we
work with both libcs.

thanks,
