From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Michael Hordijk Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 11:59:26 +0000 Subject: Nodes briefly disappear on close? Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org 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? - michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
