What about the drivers that wait 5 seconds in their probe functions before doing device discovery? Seriously, we have them... Only thing waiting 5 seconds would tell you is that nothing has changed in 5 seconds, not that you are finished doing anything. Why not just do what every other distro does and do the udevstart-like stuff before checking any filesystems... thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
