1 Hi,
2
3 this is a general question about GNU/Linux.
4
5 I have some doubts about the way hotplug / coldplug / udev work.
6
7 I mean, some distros do not use hotplug (I'm not sure if it's basic
8 in gentoo) and are able to plug a (i.e) pendrive and kernel detects it,
9 udev creates its device, someone mounts it, etc...
10
11 An my question is that. What really happen when you plug a (again,
12 i.e.) pendrive in your computer? Which programs take care in that
13 process? What about kernel?
14
15 Sorry if you fell spammed, but I do not find a good guide for
16 dummies :-)

19 Cheers!
