Comment (by Wilco):
Yeah it may be buggy but I is there another way?
This is from gentoo bootscripts:
{{{
# loop until everything is finished
# there's gotta be a better way...
ebegin "Letting udev process events"
loop=0
while test -d /dev/.udev/queue; do
sleep 0.1;
test "$loop" -gt 300 && break
loop=$(($loop + 1))
done
}}}
Same kind of loop although they admit there's gotta be a better way!
I think this is related to how udev handles child processes and I doubt if
it can be fixed.
