RE: udev does not create scsi disk entries during bootup

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

We need to make hotplugging work with udev for iSCSI devices, so that
persistent named device nodes are dynamically configured/de-configured.
iSCSI users look upon the persistent device nodes for any operation on
iSCSI devices.

We have a iSCSI network boot feature for which, we need to use
persistent device entries for early boot. Earlier we were creating our
own symlinks for persistency.

Now for 2.6 kernel changes, we are planning to use udev to do that work
for us, so we will need to make this feature working for completeness.

To achieve these things, I need to make udev work in hotplug mode. That
was the intent of my mention.

Thanks,
surekha

Getting udev to work for your devices has nothing to do with getting
your iscsi driver to be included in the main 2.6 kernel.  Why do you say
that?

thanks,
