Coverage of udev Posted Sep 25, 2003 2:59 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Well, we've looked at it, here, and here, and, briefly, here.
Coverage of udev Posted Sep 25, 2003 5:48 UTC (Thu) by jonabbey (subscriber, #2736) [Link] Thanks Jonathan.. I rather imagine you would have covered it, I just didn't really know what it was enough to make an effort to look.
The beginning of the end for devfs Posted Sep 25, 2003 3:38 UTC (Thu) by gregkh (subscriber, #8) [Link] There is the OLS 2003 paper and the OLS 2003 talk that goes into some detail about the problem, and what udev can do.And if that doesn't explain things well enough, feel free to ask questions on the linux-hotplug-devel mailing list.
The beginning of the end for devfs Posted Sep 25, 2003 7:35 UTC (Thu) by ken (subscriber, #625) [Link] When using devfs I can have an empty /dev as the kernel takes care of filling it in but unless we are going to start the udev instead of /sbin/init that is not going to work anymore.So what would a minimal /dev look like when using udev ?
The beginning of the end for devfs Posted Sep 25, 2003 23:48 UTC (Thu) by gregkh (subscriber, #8) [Link] udev can start up before any devices are initialized, due to initramfs. So it will be able to populate an empty /dev from boot, just like devfs can.I don't understand your question about /sbin/init.
