Fix FAT label reading bug for very large volumes.
Recognize FAT label at Win98 formatted volumes.
Read iso9660 joliet descriptor for unicode labels.
Support uuid/label of swap partitions.
We delay the execution of events if there is already an event running for
the same device, a parent or a child device. "add" events with a reference
to a physical device will also wait for the physical device to finish.
Here we fix the devpath comparison logic to return "busy" only if a complete
device names is matching. /block/sdaa will not longer block a /block/sda event.
[PATCH] limit the initial timeout of the udevd event handling
Define an inititialization phase, where we delay the events only
for a short time to eventually recollect the event sequence instead
of delaying the very first events for 10 seconds, which breaks the
firmware loader.

[PATCH] handle renamed network interfaces properly if we manage hotplug.d/
If we take over the hotplug call and manage the events we don't need
to call the event fake script in dev.d/. Just set all expected values
to the new network interface name and call hotplug.d/. This way the
device renaming is completely handled inside of udev and userspace
can't get confused.

[PATCH] simplify rules file by setting default mode to 0660

- Move the description of the environment variables to a new section
called "ENVIRONMENT" (as stated in man(7))
- Pointer to the "official" udev homepage
- Fixes for various typos and whitespace damages
/sbin/udevstart segfaults on an ATIIXP chipset which is not supported
well by the kernel yet. There, /proc/ide/hda/media can not be read
(EIO error) and udevstart seems to give a null-pointer to an SELinux
function checking the media-type.
[PATCH] udevd-test.pl: remove wrong date calculation
A hour wrap during the test run does not work :) Just remove
all the useless date conversions as we are only interested in the
seconds it takes to process.
[root@pim udevd-test]# ./udevd-test.pl 9
...
device: /class/tty/console, action: remove
forking udev time: Sat Dec 11 18:59:57 2004
the delay time is: 3 s
device: /class/tty/ptmx, action: remove
forking udev time: Sat Dec 11 19:00:07 2004
the delay time is: 4013 s
the delay time is: 4013
udevd doesn't act properly.

[PATCH] prevent udev node creatinon for "class" registration
I've found a /dev/video4linux node and just realized, that libsysfs
searches all subdirs for an attribute name.
So it found /class/video4linux/video0/dev for the videodev class
creation event /class/video4linux and created a node.
[PATCH] udevd: serialization of the event sequence of a chain of devices
Currently udevd delays only events for the same DEVPATH.
Example of an "add" event sequence:
/block/sda
/block/sda/sda1
With this change, we make sure, that the udev process handling
/block/sda has finished its work (waited for all attributes,
created the node) before we fork the udev event for /block/sda/sda1.
This way the event for sda1 can be sure, that the node for the
main device is already created (may be useful for disk labels).
It will not affect any parallel device handling, only the sequence
of the devices directory chain is serialized. The 10.000 disks
plugged in will still run as parallel events. :)
The main motivation to do this is the program execution of the
dev.d/ and hotplug.d/ directory. If we don't wait for the parent
event to exit, we can't be sure that the executed scripts are
run in the right order.

[PATCH] Various typos and other litte errors in udev.8.in
Thanks-To: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch>
While crawling through the udev manpage I noticed some typos and other
grammatical errors. English is not my native language, so I'm not sure
if I fixed everything right. I would be glad if any English-speaking
person could check this patch before applying.
Initialize the defaults in udev_config.c instead of namedev.c.
Replace macro by expanded code. Switch to mode_t instead
of string value. Add and clarify some comments.
[PATCH] update the man pages and correct Usage: hints
Add UDEV_LOG to the man udev man page. Remove mention of specific
variables from the udevd/udevsend man page as we changed to pass
the whole environment.
Correct printed Usage: of udevtest and udevinfo.
Init the config in udevtest earlier to accept input with and without
the sysfs mount point.
[PATCH] don't call dev.d/ scripts twice, if directory = subsystem
The /etc/dev.d/input/input.dev was called twice for /dev/input/mouse.
Skip the execution if we get a directory named after the subsystem.
Move UDEV_NO_DEVD where it belongs.
I just noticed that the DEVNAME enviroment variable isn't being set anymore
in udev 0.046 on device removal, while it was being set in 0.042. We're using
the property tto do umount -l <devices> when a block device is removed. Afaik
there is no other way to associate a device with it's DEVNAME on removal ?
Also are there cases where doing umount -l on the removed devices is wrong?
I guess the device is gone, so there is no sense in keeping it mounted (it's
not like the filesystem is gonna come back in a sane state again)..
Attached (trivial) patch brings back the DEVNAME variable on device removal.
