RE: udev does not create scsi disk entries during bootup

["Surekha.PC" <surekhap@cisco.com>]

Hi,

  I am not able to run udev during boot time inspite of having installed
udev, and the associated configuration.
Appreciate help in resolving this issue soon.

Is this feature working for udev-005 right now or one needs to manually
run "udev add/remove" to configure devices ?

TIA,
surekha

Yes, it mentions that it reads from /etc/hotplug.d path.

I downloaded this package from the following URL.
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2003_08_05.tar.
gz

Ok, that being the case, the local scsi disks would not be seen by udev
during bootup unless it is part of initrd, right ?

However I am bring up my iSCSI services, after root disk is mounted, so
these disks have to be recognised by udev. Stopping the iSCSI service,
will deconfigure the iSCSI disks, this should remove the disk entries in
udev. Is it possible to achive this funtionality with the latest hotplug
and udev?

FYI, the /etc/hotplug directory has scsi.agent installed, along with
usb, pci ..etc.


Thanks,
surekha
