| |
Hi, all. I've just released version 1.3.19 of my devfsd (devfs daemon) at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/
Tarball directly available from: ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/devfsd/devfsd.tar.gz
AND: ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/daemons/devfsd/devfsd.tar.gz
This works with devfs-patch-v130, kernel 2.3.46 and devfs-patch-v99.7 (or later).
The main changes are:
- Set environment to "safe mode" when invoking modprobe and add better debugging messages for /lib/modutils.so. Based on patch from Russell Coker
- Call setsid(2)/setpgid(2) to avoid console hangups and place all devfsd processes in the same process group
- Generate synthetic REGISTER event for directories at startup
- Made public function <mksymlink> which doesn't generate errors on existing symlinks
- Updated compatibility entry support for fixed Computone serial driver names
- Updated compatibility entry support for pending Cyclades serial driver names.
Regards,
Richard....
