Message-Id: <200406111803.10401.vapier@gentoo.org> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org a while back i asked a question about how to disable device nodes from being created ... a good example is the tty stuff. by default, 64 tty's are created (0-63) and the only solution is to either edit the kernel (not useful across many different machines and kernel upgrades) or to 'trick' the udev.rules file as so (this is what was suggested and what *used* to work): KERNEL="tty[0-9]", NAME="vc/%n", SYMLINK="%k" KERNEL="tty[0-9]*", NAME="" here you can see that tty0 - tty9 would have the nodes created while tty10-tty63 should disappear ... however, now with udev-026 at least (it's the first time i noticed because i was debugging that tty/666/660 mode bug), i get all the vc nodes in /dev/vc/ with their tty symlinks in /dev/ is there a 'better' way to do what i want or is this a 'bug' ? :) -mike ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
