here is the next update which brings this multipath to the state i'm not
ashamed of it being in udev :)
* drop a libdevmapper copy in extras/multipath; maybe discussions w/
Sistina folks will bring a better solution in the future.
* drop a putchar usage in libdevmapper to compile cleanly with klibc
* drop another such usage of my own in main.c
* massage the Makefile to compile libdevmapper against klibc
* use "ld" to produce the binary rather than "gcc -static"
* stop being stupid w/ uneeded major, minor & dev in main.c:dm_mk_node()
* reverse to creating striped target for now because the multipath
target is more hairy than expected initialy
* push the version code to 009 to be in synch w/ udev
builds & run here.
binary size is 43ko, which is fairly gratifying after all the efforts
I've put to compiling it with klibc :)
I've never seen any project where the documentation is in sync with the
code at this early stage. Nice! So here is the patch to make it extra perfect :)

remove only the line feed from string not every last char
As promised yesterday, here is a patch to implement a more advanced
pattern matching instead of the simple '*'.
We can remove the "tty"="tty" line from udev.rules now and
replace "tty*" by "tty[0-9]*" to catch only the vc's.
implement pattern matching in namedev
'*' - to match zero or more chars
'?' - to match exactly one char

[PATCH] add support for a main udev config file, udev.conf.
the older udev.config file is now called udev.rules.
This allows us to better control configuration values, and move away from
the environment variables.
[PATCH] Add -nodefaultlibs while compiling against klibc
This patch adds -nodefaultlibs to LDFLAGS when compiling udev against
klibc. This fixes the warning that I was getting when using $(LD)=gcc
in the versions after Makefile.klibc disappeared. The problem was that
it was still including a "-lc" in the call to the linker.
The quick patch I sent you yesterday fixes it in one location, but
there are other points in the library that calls sysfs_get_mnt_path. We
need to address all the areas in the library where paths are used. The
following patch is a band-aid until we can get a proper path management
in the library.

No, don't include kernel headers directly if you can avoid it.
The problem you are referring to seems to be with old tool chains,
I have the same symptom with my s390 gcc-2.95/glibc-2.1.3.
Including <sys/param.h> instead of <limits.h> seems to fix it.

* makes sure the core code play nice with klibc

(not tested yet)

libdevmapper doesn't play well with klibc, so I wasn't able to produce a
static binary yet. Help needed here ... as I don't want to fall back to
merge libdevmapper code in the core.
There seems to be a
mismatch in udev and in libsysfs as to what to expect if the mnt point
has a slash on the end or not. If I use the included patch, it breaks
something in udev. If I patch sysfs_get_mnt_path I break udev as well
because what you're expecting. I need to sit down and go through
the library and creaate a rule as to trailing slashes. Adding the env
brought this to light.
Here's the patch to up the library to the sysfsutils-0_3_0 level. The
following changes:
1) adds class name to sysfs_class_device structure
2) adds bus to sysfs_device
3) gets rid of code that made assumptions as to bus addresses being
unique across buses, which isn't the case.
I still owe you:
1) change getpagesize->sysconf. This is in the CVS tree and part of other
changes we're currently testing. Patch will follow.
2) you need a function to get a sysfs_class_device's parent. We hadn't
considered class devices to have parents, the one example of a multilevel
is the block class. We will add this function and send the patch to you.

[PATCH] Add format modifier for devfs like naming

I would prefer to have the ability of creating partition nodes in devfs
style built-in to udev. Devfs used to call the whole disk e.g.
"/dev/dasd/0123/disk" and the partitions "/dev/dasd/0123/part[1-3]".
This can obviously be done with a CALLOUT rule, but its common enough
to make it a format modifier. AFAIK, this scheme has been used for
ide, scsi and dasd disks, which is about 99% of all disks ever connected
to Linux.
udev kept on segfaulting when it was in use, and not having the time
(and building it with DEBUG=true showing nothing), I have not tracked it
until tonight. Seems like I made a type-o, and forgotten the ':'
between one line's group and permission parameters. Attached patch
should stop the segfault, and warn at that at least.

ID= supports the usual wildcard to compare with the output.
I've moved all wildcard matching to a function cause this was the third occurrence.
Also attached is the last whitespace cleanup and debug text corrections.
The callout patch depends on the whitespace patch.

[PATCH] namedev.c - change order of fields in CALLOUT
I want to bring the CALLOUT field ordering in line with the other

[PATCH] more robust config file parsing in namedev.c
After getting a number of different crashes for udev reading broken
udev.config files, I decided to try to make the parser a little
more robust.
The behaviour is changed to stop reading the configuration file
and logging the broken entry instead of silently ignoring it (is
that good? It's easy to just print and continue).
All strcpy()'s to a fixed length string are now implicitly limited
to the bounds of the target string.
I kept the -ENODEV return code for now, not sure if there should be
different ones.

Great, just what I was missing. I didn't see the any link to the bk

the handling of callout results a bit more.
