Hi,

I've encountered a small problem with udev.
If I mount my ZIP drive with a bad option it goes
in an infinite loop and every ~0.5 second the udev
daemon wakes up and my ZIP starts spinning.

I run fedora core 3 test1 with linux-2.6.8-rc4, udev-026.
So I don't use actually use udev but it's running.

If I do :

mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip -o unknown_option=unknown_value

mount will complain about the option, refuse to mount, and
the infinite loop will start.

I am sorry for the lack of details, but I am not currently at home.
If you cannot reproduce it, please ask me any details you need.


I need more details.  Kernel log messages.  udev log messages. something
more...

That's bad news, it means you cannot reproduce it :(
Here is a tar.bz2 containing strace logs of dbus-daemon-1 and udevd. There is also a dmesg
output, my kernel .config, /etc/udev /sys and kernel logs.
I see nothing wrong in them, but hopefully you will.

Oh, and how about upgrading to the latest version of udev, we're at 030
these days.

OK, done.
