hello,

After I installed aoe driver from coraid (version 76) I got the following warning messages upon reboot (when udev starts):

udevd-work[608]: kernel-provided name 'discover' and NAME= 'etherd/discover' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name
udevd-work[605]: kernel-provided name 'err' and NAME= 'etherd/err' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name
udevd-work[610]: kernel-provided name 'flush' and NAME= 'etherd/flush' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name
udevd-work[593]: kernel-provided name 'revalidate' and NAME= 'etherd/revalidate' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name

I'm not an udev expert but found that since version 154 KERNEL and NAME must match.
I have tried to modify  the /etc/udev/rules.d/60-aoe.rules file by changing KERNEL=="stuff" to KERNEL=="etherd/stuff" but I still have the same messages.
I also tried, to set add SYMLINK+="stuff" and it still complains.

Warning messages doesn't fear me by themselves. But what makes me unconfortables is that devices nodes err, interfaces, revalidate and flush are now in /dev/ *AND* /dev/etherd/ (unless SYMLINK+="stuff" is set, in wich case /dev/stuff is a symlink to /dev/etherd/stuff)!
I guess this could lead to some issues.
There is apparently no way to set the kernel name for udev in userspace... does this is part of the kernel code? shouldn't it be updated?

Regards.

P.S: I am using aoe6-76 on debian 6.0 with udev 164 and kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
