Hi, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
do you need udevd in runlevel boot at all (for sysvinit)? |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Given either your kernel knows its root hardware device driver or has |
| 9 |
an initrd to load needed modules to mount the root filesystem. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
You can have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y and let the |
| 12 |
kernel create all the /dev/{sd,sr,hd}? device files needed for |
| 13 |
/etc/init.d/{fsck,bootmisc,localmount} to check and mount /usr. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Normally you can start udevd after localmount and just right before |
| 16 |
network, to persistent-network rename the interfaces. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
On NFS_ROOT setups, you either have network by CONFIG_IP_PNP |
| 19 |
(kernel-level ip autoconfiguration) and get your root fs from the DHCP |
| 20 |
or you have an initrd which can mount /usr. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, all you need udevd for is fancy-permissions/groups once a non-root |
| 23 |
plugs in an USB drive (which is an multiuser-nightmare by itself). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It should be sufficient to load udevd after localmount has mounted |
| 26 |
/usr udevd replays all the discoveries read from the kernel and |
| 27 |
applies the permission/ownership rules. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Concern is to sustain the freedom of choice that brought me to Gentoo. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Please provide systemd as an option. |
| 32 |
And provide sysvinit/openrc as an option. |
| 33 |
Do __not__ make an initrd mandatory. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
/* skip __ALL__ the systemd rants */ |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Thanks. |
