The official LFS loop is:
{{{
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 60 || break
done
}}}
It differs from Slackware and Gentoo by exiting not when the queue
disappears, but when it doesn't reappear after 60 retries. The bug in
Gentoo and Slackware is exactly that the queue sometimes disappears for a
moment, and their script exits prematurely.
