Hi Laurent !
1) Starting up a system with mdev usually involves the same steps to
mount proc, sys and a tmpfs on dev, then adding some subdirectories
to /dev, setting owner, group and permissions, symlinking some
entries and possibly mounting more virtual file systems. This work
need to be
Hi Harald,
I'm sorry if I came across as dismissive or strongly opposed to the idea.
It was not my intent. My intent, as always, is to try and make sure that
potential new code 1. is worth writing at all, and 2. is designed the
right way. I don't object to discourage you, I object to generate

Hi,
getting hints and ideas from Laurent and Natanael, I found we can get
most flexibility, when when try to do some modularization of the steps
done by mdev.
At fist there are two different kinds of work to deal with:
1) The overall operation and usage of netlink
2) Extending the mdev.conf

I am using an older version of busybox (1.7.0) with a newer linux kernel
(3.10) and trying to get it to discover and dynamically create usb device
nodes underneath /dev/bus/usb. This doesn't seem to work when I execute
mdev with the -s option.
Can someone please tell me if this

Hi Dallas !
Hi Harald, I was sort of expecting a mdev scan to discover and create
device nodes for usb.
Sounds like I need some rules defined in /etc/mdev.conf. I just have
a default one.
What consider you a default one? There are so many distros and systems
out in the wild, even the
