Actually, I'm not expecting to use udevstart. Rather, I am expecting to integrate code from udevstart and/or other parts of udev into my early userspace init program. It will start with nothing but rootfs mounted, and need some /dev entries to find devices to be mounted. Since /dev will end up being tmpfs in the end, it seems to make sense to go ahead and populate it at this point. There will only be /dev (tmpfs) and /sys (sysfs) mounted at that point in time ... no /etc ... so this is a big reason I can't just literally use udevstart as is, anyway. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard KA9WGN | http://linuxhomepage.com/ http://ham.org/ | | (first name) at ipal.net | http://phil.ipal.org/ http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
