Ah, that will break /etc/init.d/halt.sh |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Particularly the stuff around here: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
ebegin "Saving device nodes" |
| 15 |
... |
| 16 |
cd /dev |
| 17 |
# Find all devices |
| 18 |
find . -xdev -type b -or -type c -or -type l | cut -d/ -f2- > \ |
| 19 |
"${devices_real}" |
| 20 |
# Figure out what udev created |
| 21 |
eval $(grep '^[[:space:]]*udev_db=' /etc/udev/udev.conf) |
| 22 |
if [[ -d ${udev_db} ]]; then |
| 23 |
# New udev_db is clear text ... |
| 24 |
udevinfo=$(cat "${udev_db}"/*) |
| 25 |
else |
| 26 |
# Old one is not ... |
| 27 |
udevinfo=$(udevinfo -d) |
| 28 |
fi |
| 29 |
# This basically strips 'S:' and 'N:' from the db output, and then |
| 30 |
# print all the nodes/symlinks udev created ... |
| 31 |
... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The script will be unable to figure out what device is being handled by |
| 34 |
udev, and what is not. |
