Have you tried it lately? I was also very sceptic, but now it |
| 11 |
seems to work the charm. Also seems like Greg have pretty much |
| 12 |
kept my udev rules to simulate near devfs /dev layout which sould |
| 13 |
make it easier. |

|
| 15 |
Also, nice feature to create rules like so: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
---- |
| 18 |
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-dm.rules |
| 19 |
KERNEL="dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/sbin/devmap_name %M %m", NAME="mapper/%k", SYMLINK="%c" |

gives you all sorts of flexibility (moving disks around is less |
| 23 |
painful, etc): |

The only 'regression' as such, is that trying to open say |
| 34 |
/dev/nvidia0 do not load 'nvidia' if you had an alias in |
| 35 |
modprobe.conf ... I have an idea however to 'fix' that, but |
| 36 |
I haven't gotten to it yet, and it will require some prodding |
| 37 |
in kernel internals =) |
