>Description:
When new device node is created or destroyed, kernel sends notify to devctl in
this form:
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=DESTROY cdev=<DEVICE NAME>
where <DEVICE NAME> is being substituted with the name of device.
If device name contains whitespaces, devd scraps out everything but the part
before the first space in cdev parameter, so we can not correctly handle device
name in devd.
>How-To-Repeat:
I found out the problem when I was looking into what happens in devd when I
insert my USB flash drive. System eventually creates "msdosfs/ADATA UFD"
device, but devd handles it as "msdosfs/ADATA" device.
>Fix:
See attached patch. It wraps <DEVICE NAME> in double quotes so that devd
ignores spaces in it.
