For example, the current udev default rules file creates /dev/device-mapper for the device mapper control device. However, the recent standard location for that is /dev/mapper/control It is simple enough to create a SYMLINK rule to create this node, and it works fine. However, when using multiple rules files (in /etc/udev/rules.d), I'll have to ensure that the file containing my SYMLINK rule always gets processed before the one containing the NAME rule. I can do that, but it seems an unnecessary restriction. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
