Subject: Nodes briefly disappear on close?
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 11:59:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <edjoqu$336$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
So I've run into the following problem:
"""
dhcp0-a0-98-5-2e-a0 ~ # ls /dev/hda1 ; ls /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda1
dhcp0-a0-98-5-2e-a0 ~ # ls /dev/hda1 ; touch /dev/hda1 ; ls /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1
ls: /dev/hda1: No such file or directory
dhcp0-a0-98-5-2e-a0 ~ # ls /dev/hda1 ; touch /dev/hda1 ; sleep 1 ; ls /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda1
"""
Now I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this. But between the FAQ and the
mailing list, I couldn't find a solution. I'm running Gentoo, udev 087, kernel
2.6.15.
It is probably important to mention that /dev/hda1 is actually on a compact
flash, which may be slow to return from whatever udev is doing to it to find out
the partition info?
The reason this is a problem: I can't format said device. An strace of tools
such as mkfs.msdos show that it opens, then closes the partition, then tries to
immediately open again, leading to an error that the device is not accessible.
Any ideas how to get around this?
