USB isn't the only one... I don't think, that we want to do this in udevstart, at least at it's current state. It will break to many setups, cause all the distros have their own way to handle the coldplug case. Everything in udevstart is serialized, which may not be optimal for all the things to do during a coldplug session, cause every sleeping script will delay the whole process. In general I like the idea and we should experiment what the best solution would be: event-replay, coldplug-binary, udevstart + coldplug, synthesizing events and pass them to udevd for parallel execution... But this should happen in a separate binary, so we don't break too many things at once. :) Thanks, Kay ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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
