It's needed cause most of the devices never notify about a media change and with a fully dynamic /dev we need to access one partition to force the kernel to revalidate the device. This all couldn't be avoided without polling :( Now as we create nodes, should we execute the /etc/dev.d/ programs for the "blind" partition nodes? What are the implications for HAL, gvm? And should we fake the DEVPATH for it, huhh...? thanks, Kay ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
