(It's not in the index or TOC ... :) The hotplug script there doesn't follow the conventions of the linux-hotplug project; that'd involve "/etc/hotplug/chandev.agent" as the script doing the magic. Which means that the network hotplug events will get ignored ... why is that? Seems to me more natural to do network administration through network hotplug events, not chandev ones! (The /sbin/hotplug script normally delegates the work to /etc/hotplug/$1.agent ...) > This seems pretty clear and reasonably well-written. If Dave > finds this more acceptable, then I guess we're done. I believe there's a bunch left unsaid there about what the device names indicate. I'd hope that eth0/eth1/eth2 are all Ethernet, and that tr0 is token ring (it still lives? :), but I have no clue what "ctc0" would be or, in general, how and what those names are. Wouldn't disk drives show up there? And tape backup units, etc? What I'll do is stick a pointer to it, and update the linux-hotplug webpage about "chandev" to present some of that info. My understanding is that the management of mainframes has its own families of idiosyncracies, developed over decades, that it's not worth my time to master ... :) For now I'm happy just to keep the subsystem information current on the web - Dave _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
