It can be found at: > kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-010.tar.gz Oh, forgot to mention that udev runs a _lot_ slower now, taking at least 1 second for every device addition. This makes the initscript or the test scripts take a long time. This was done to try to fix the race condition where udev beats the kernel before it has created all of the sysfs links and files. I need some libsysfs changes before this can be done properly, without the big speed hit (the libsysfs people are working on it.) If anyone's interested in it, take a look at the FIXMEs in namedev.c. I tried messing around with just a simple stat() call, but still couldn't reliably get stuff to work for partitions on usb-storage devices (which are slow to enumerate.) Any help here would be apprecated. thanks, greg k-h
