Subject: [patch] let /sbin/hotplug execute udev earlier
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 20:51:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040829205156.GB15526@vrfy.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 703 bytes --]

We ran into problems with all the /etc/hotplug.d/ scripts that sleep for
the sysfs files or for other reasons. Anyway, it takes much too much time
before udev is executed.
HAL has its own notifier in /etc/hotplug.d/ and also waits for the
dev.d/events with the same SEQNUM. Sometimes it take 25 seconds between
these two events, cause the other scripts are sleeping too much :)

Attached is a patch that installs the udevsend symlink as
10-udev.hotplug instead of udev.hotplug, to be executed earlier.

[kay@pim udev.kay]$ tree /etc/hotplug.d/
/etc/hotplug.d/
`-- default
    |-- 10-udev.hotplug -> /sbin/udevsend
    |-- 20-hal.hotplug -> /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug
    `-- default.hotplug


Thanks,
Kay
