If we can't connect to udevd within a 20 second we give up and the request to create a node is lost. Hope this never happens, but a broken udevd may prevent udev from working. What do you think? Should we call the udev binary directly from udevsend instead of discarding the event? This way we would create the node, regardless of the state of udevd. It would be 20 seconds later and maybe not in the right sequence order - but the node will propably be there. Does it sound sane? What do you think? thanks, Kay ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
