-<title>No Consistent Naming between DevFS and udev</title> |
| 46 |
-<body> |
| 47 |
- |
| 48 |
-<p> |
| 49 |
-Even though our intention is to have a consistent naming scheme between both |
| 50 |
-dynamical device management solutions, sometimes naming differences do occur. |
| 51 |
-</p> |
| 52 |
- |
| 53 |
-<p> |
| 54 |
-One reported clash is with a HP Smart Array 5i RAID controller (more precisely |
| 55 |
-the <c>cciss</c> kernel module). With udev, the devices are named |
| 56 |
-<path>/dev/cciss/cXdYpZ</path> with X, Y and Z regular numbers. With devfs, the |
| 57 |
-devices are <path>/dev/hostX/targetY/partZ</path> or symlinked from |
| 58 |
-<path>/dev/cciss/cXdY</path>. |
| 59 |
-</p> |
| 60 |
- |
| 61 |
-<p> |
| 62 |
-If this is the case, don't forget to update your <path>/etc/fstab</path> and |
| 63 |
-bootloader configuration files accordingly. |
| 64 |
-</p> |
| 65 |
- |
| 66 |
-<p> |
| 67 |
-The same happens with all-round symlinks that used to exist in |
| 68 |
-<path>/dev</path>, such as <path>/dev/mouse</path>, which <c>udev</c> doesn't |
| 69 |
-create anymore. Be certain to check your X configuration file and see if the |
| 70 |
-Device rule for your mouse points to an existing device file. |
| 71 |
-</p> |
| 72 |
- |
| 73 |
-<p> |
| 74 |
-Another issue is the difference in naming of terminals between devfs and udev. |
| 75 |
-While devfs calls its terminals <c>tty</c>, udev calls them <c>vc</c> and |
| 76 |
-<c>tty</c>. This could lead to a problem in case you are restricting root |
| 77 |
-logins from consoles using <path>/etc/securetty</path>. You will need to make |
| 78 |
-sure that both <c>tty1</c> and <c>vc/1</c> are listed in |
| 79 |
-<path>/etc/securetty</path> to ensure that root can login using the console. |

-<title>udev loads modules in an unpredictable order</title> |
| 86 |
-<body> |
| 87 |
- |
| 88 |
-<p> |
| 89 |
-Sometimes udev loads modules in an undesired, unpredictable, or seemingly random |
| 90 |
-order. This is especially common for systems that have multiple devices of the |
| 91 |
-same type, as well as multimedia devices. This can affect the assigned numbers |
| 92 |
-of devices; for example, sound cards may sometimes swap numbers. |
| 93 |
-</p> |
| 94 |
- |
| 95 |
-<p> |
| 96 |
-There are a few solutions to fix device numbers and/or module load order. |
| 97 |
-Ideally, you can just use module parameters to specify your desired device |
| 98 |
-number. Some modules, such as ALSA, include the "index" parameter. Modules that |
| 99 |
-use the index parameter can be adjusted as shown. This example is for a system |
| 100 |
-with two sound cards. The card with an index of 0 is designated as the first |
| 101 |
-card. Once the parameters are changed, the module config files must be updated. |
| 102 |
-</p> |
| 103 |
- |
| 104 |
-<pre caption="Specifying module parameters"> |
| 105 |
-# <i>echo "option snd-ice1724 index=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf</i> |
| 106 |
-# <i>echo "option snd-ymfpci index=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf</i> |
| 107 |
-# <i>update-modules</i> |
| 108 |
-</pre> |
| 109 |
- |
| 110 |
-<p> |
| 111 |
-The above example is the preferred solution, but not all modules support |
| 112 |
-parameters such as index. For these modules, you'll have to force the correct |
| 113 |
-module load order. First, you must stop udev from autoloading the modules by |
| 114 |
-blacklisting them. Be sure to use the exact name of the module being loaded. |
| 115 |
-For PCI devices, you'll need to use the module names obtained from the output of |
| 116 |
-<c>lspci -k</c>, available in the <c>pciutils</c> package. The following example |
| 117 |
-uses DVB modules. |
| 118 |
-</p> |
| 119 |
- |
| 120 |
-<pre caption="Blacklisting modules"> |
| 121 |
-# <i>echo "blacklist b2c2-flexcop-pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/dvb</i> |
| 122 |
-# <i>echo "blacklist budget" >> /etc/modprobe.d/dvb</i> |
| 123 |
-# <i>update-modules</i> |
| 124 |
-</pre> |
| 125 |
- |
| 126 |
-<p> |
| 127 |
-Next, load the modules in the correct order. Add them to |
| 128 |
-<path>/etc/conf.d/modules</path> <e>in the exact order you want |
| 129 |
-them loaded</e>. |
