Yes. I've not changed that setting from whatever the default is, and I |
| 10 |
guess udev moved its hook out from there quite some time ago so it's |
| 11 |
pointing at nothing, but having that actually point to something is known |
| 12 |
in kernel circles to lead to a lot of unnecessary grief. They're |
| 13 |
seriously thinking about (and may be planning on) removing that option |
| 14 |
from the kernel entirely, to keep people configuring their first kernels |
| 15 |
from getting themselves in trouble, but of course that's now part of the |
| 16 |
kernel/userspace interface, so it isn't allowed to just disappear like |
| 17 |
kernel/kernel interfaces can. At minimum they'd likely have to have it |
| 18 |
on the deprecation and removal schedule for awhile. (I've not checked to |
| 19 |
see if it's there already.) |
