Subject: Wrong symlink handling on rule changes
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:16:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200709201716.37510.zzam@gentoo.org> (raw)
Hi there!
Playing around with rules I stepped over a strange thing.
I played with device-mapper rules, but the bug is about general symlink
handling.
1. My rules did set this:
NAME="dm-0", SYMLINK="mapper/main-slash"
That results in /dev/dm-0 being a device-node and /dev/mapper/main-slash is a
symlink to it.
2. Swapping NAME and SYMLINK
NAME="mapper/main-slash", SYMLINK="dm-0"
and running udevtrigger changes dm-0 to be a symlink to correct target.
BUT: It changes mapper/main-slash to be a symlink to itself.
Calling udevtrigger a second time will correct symlink.
Matthias
