The etc/udev/60-persistent-storage.rules file contains rules to run this script (in udev-088, it ran the script from /sbin, and -089 runs it from /lib/udev) and create /dev/disk/by-path/* symlinks so you can refer to a disk or partition by its shortest physical path. We don't have an equivalent to anything in this persistent-storage rules file, but we do install all of the helpers -- except, in udev-088, path_id. path_id didn't have its own subdirectory under extras/ in udev-088, and it didn't have its own Makefile either, so there was no way to install it using udev's own build process. But in -089, it does have both of these. So when the book upgrades to -089, I think we should add extras/path_id to the EXTRAS variable in the build and install commands, so we have this script installed. I also personally think we should install the sample persistent storage rules file, so that these helpers get used and stable symlinks get created (in my own builds, I will definitely install it). But that may not be deemed necessary for a base system. pgpelvSsJWSuS.pgp Description: PGP signature -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Indeed. I also personally think we should install the sample persistent storage rules file, so that these helpers get used and stable symlinks get created (in my own builds, I will definitely install it). But that may not be deemed necessary for a base system. How be to create persistant symlinks is still a matter of debate. I've yet to investigate pros and cons, I just know there is stuff in Trac, CLFS, the udev tarball, and Alex pointed to a link to another. Some of these may indeed be the same method (or overlap considerably) but I just haven't had time to look into it and no one seems to agree how it should be done. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
