Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
You have not added a bugreport with both the mkdir and udev-086. If that
combination produces the bugreport, read further. Otherwise, ignore.
No need to try udev-087. Even if this "fixes" the bug, please revert to
086, because that's accidental.
I '''think''' that the only way to handle this bug is to change the
waiting part. But that's a big sledgehammer that only reduces the
probability of the failure to something like 10^-10^ instead of completely
eliminating it.
Instead of
{{{
loop=300
while test -d /dev/.udev/queue; do
sleep 0.1
test "$loop" -gt 0 || break
loop=$(($loop - 1))
done
}}}
try (completely untested)
{{{
loop=300
confirm=0
while true ; do
sleep 0.1
test -d /dev/.udev/queue && confirm=0 || confirm=$(( $confirm
+ 1 ))
loop=$(( $loop - 1 ))
test $loop -gt 0 || break
test $confirm -lt 10 || break
done
}}}
This is supposed to exit the loop not when the /dev/.udev/queue directory
disappears for a moment, but when it also doesn't reapear 10 times in
succession.
