udev rc script reads:
# chkconfig: 2345 20 80
If it is supposed to create device nodes on an empty /dev, I think it should be run at runlevel 1, or even run apart from normal initscripts, from rc or the like ? For example, on a Mandrake cooker box, rc2.d looks like
K05portsentry@ K35dhcpd@ K80gmond@ S12syslog@ K08lircmd@ K35lircd@ K80nscd@ S15gpm@ K09dm@ K44rawdevices@ K81ganglia-monitor-script@ S18sound@ K09smb@ K45named@ K86nfslock@ S20random@ K10devfsd@ K50xinetd@ K89portmap@ S20udev@ K10ntpd@ K54pxe@ K89upsmon@ S60cups@ K10xfs@ K60atd@ K90upsd@ S60nfs@ K15proftpd@ K60saslauthd@ K95harddrake@ S75keytable@ K20bootparamd@ K65identd@ S01hotplug@ S80postfix@ K20partmon@ K70acpi@ S03iptables@ S90crond@ K21bpmaster@ K70alsa@ S05lm_sensors@ S95kheader@ K25sshd@ K75netfs@ S05sensors@ S95microcode_ctl@ K35atalk@ K80gmetad@ S10network@ S99local@
This means that it will try to run, for example, gpm before the device for the mouse is created (as I said, if you booted with an empty /dev you want to populate with device nodes).
And a couple questions. a) Should not ordering be reversed here:
start) if [ ! -d $udev_dir ]; then mkdir $udev_dir fi if [ ! -d $sysfs_dir ]; then exit 1 fi If we have not /sys, there's no sense on creating /udev, so I would check first for /sys.
b) What is the sense of removing devices when udev is stopped ? As I understand it, udev is not 'running', it is just a command to create device nodes, called by hotplug. What is more logical, chkconfig --level 12345 or --level 1 ? One more reason to split it from normal init scripts.
TIA
