Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 You are not the first to make this mistake. These are completely different
 timeouts. Read the code.

 6 seconds is the "dark" timeout: we waited 6 seconds in order to be sure
 that uevents don't reappear. It is only a part of the debugging hook.

 The --timeout parameter controls the "white" timeout: suppose that some
 uevent child doesn't die in --timeout seconds (default: 180). Then, in
 order to avoid hanging the complete system at boot due to a single
 misbehaving udev rule, udevsettle decides to continue with partially-
 populated /dev in hope that root fixes this before the next reboot.
