#1804: udev-096 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.2 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- 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. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1804> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
