It seems like udev is changing its bhaviour since a year or so: http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg03766.html
This makes le NAME= directive being ignored and wanrs if NAME != KERNEL provide name. As a consequence, and to avoid warnings (and probably erros in the future) shouldn't the udev be modified as follow: --- linux/Documentation/aoe/udev.txt 2011-06-21 22:41:47.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/udev/rules.d/60-aoe.rules 2011-11-30 17:13:29.894300303 +0100 @@ -16,11 +16,11 @@ # # aoe char devices -SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="discover", NAME="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" -SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="err", NAME="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0440" -SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="interfaces", NAME="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" -SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="revalidate", NAME="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" -SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="flush", NAME="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" +SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="discover", SYMLINK+="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" +SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="err", SYMLINK+="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0440" +SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="interfaces", SYMLINK+="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" +SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="revalidate", SYMLINK+="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" +SUBSYSTEM=="aoe", KERNEL=="flush", SYMLINK+="etherd/%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="0220" -# aoe block devices -KERNEL=="etherd*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk" +# aoe block devices +KERNEL=="etherd*", GROUP="disk" This make the warning messages disappear but creates a notable diffrence with the old behaviour: character files in /dev/etherd are now just symlinks to /dev/ IIUC In order to have character files in /dev/etherd the aoe drivers have to provide udev with names like "etherd/chardev" instead of just "chardev". I don't know what's better. regards.
