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.

Why do you say that? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
