Subject: [RFC] udev processing _all_ symlink rules?
Date: Sun, 02 May 2004 00:15:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40943D84.9000508@backtobasicsmgmt.com> (raw)
I brought this up a week or two ago, and Kay agreed it might be a good
change, but I don't want it to get lost.
I'd like to see the rule searching loop in namedev.c continue scanning
through all remaining rules even after is has found a matching NAME
rule, so that SYMLINK rules for the same device don't have to be located
earlier in the list. It appears that this is a simple code change:
instead of "goto found", just set a flag for future passes through the
loop to ignore any NAME rules that may be found, then exit the loop when
all rules have been checked.
If you want I'll make up the small patch... it seems to be a pretty safe
change IMHO, but I could be missing something.
