udevd should wait longer for sysfs

udevd should wait longer for sysfs

[Jochen Eisinger]

Hi,

I experienced problems with automounting devices, and tracked it down to
missing sysfs files during processing of udev events.

It turned out that udevd gave up waiting fir sysfs after 3 seconds,
while sysfs took like 5 seconds.

I've increased this value to 10 seconds which fixed my problems. Maybe a
better solution was to have this value configurable?

I'm using udev-113 btw.

regards

We did this more than 2 months ago:

All WAIT_FOR_SYSFS need should be obsolete soon:
