BTW, if you run ps axf and come across '/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --daemon' |
| 23 |
don't panic. RHL advocates of monolithic stack for Linux haven't taken over |
| 24 |
your machine, but that's how udev is packaged these days even if you have not |
| 25 |
installed or enabled systemd on your OS. |

PS. If you are still uncertain, this trick (I believe it must have been fixed |
| 28 |
in recent versions of systemd) may crash your systemd running PC :-p |
