I am trying to add a uise of hotplug at bootup and I hit a problem.
Each boot I lose the /var/lock/subsys directory that hotplug wants to
use. That's the issue.
IIRC, the rcsysinit.d directory (which has a link to cleanfs) will run
before the rc?.d directories. So the hotplug boot script will always
fail, because that /var/lock/subsys directory has just been deleted by
cleanfs.
Either I have to alter the cleanfs line that says 'rm -rf /var/run/*
/var/lock/*' or else the hotplug line that says 'touch
/var/log/subsys/hotplug'. I don't know the implications of doing
either. I imagine the hotplug one is linked into several scripts
