Subject: udev synchronization
Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:38:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200801252138.m0PLcEEs017177@dell2.home> (raw)

Didn't see much about this...

When I'm modprobe a loopAES driver, then doing a bunch of loop mounts, the
loop devices aren't present when I start associating the loop devices with the block devices.

I'm using udev-082 (since this seems to work with 2.6.10 and 2.6.20 kernels
which I'm supporting.

There's a udevsettle which seems to handle the synchronization.  Its not
in udev-082.  Maybe its a good idea...it probably makes sense to add a flag
to modprobe so modprobe returns when its "safe" to use the devices...

What I did at one time was stick a sleep in (ugh).
Someone else stuck in a udevstart (which seems to do the trick).

Any problem running udevstart while udevd is running?
