udev problems still - 060-3 won't process my custom rules

tomk · 2005-07-06 11:56:36

Following the problems with 060-1, I went back to 058-4 - everything was fine, as expected. When I saw 060-2 and then 060-3 in current, I figured I'd give it another shot. It looked fine initially i.e. it didn't break my network. However, none of my custom rules for USB devices are working under 060-3.

So I'm back to 058-4 - and everything's fine again.

i have two rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d :

00-perso.rules
10-udev.rules

all my usb stick rules are in my perso files.
even if the pero file should be treated first, my usb sticks and ipod were not detected and treated according to my perso rules.
I had to comment out most of the scsi rules in 10-udev.rules for it to work:

# scsi block devices
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd[a-z][0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd[a-i][a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd[a-i][a-z][0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="s[grt][0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="scd[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="st[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
#BUS="scsi", KERNEL="nst[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"

only after that my usb sticks were detected and processed by udev with my own rules.

I just installed ARCH for the first time a few days ago so i don't know if this problem was due to the new udev version or not.

hope this helps

Thanks for that. I'm happy enough to run with 058-4 until this is sorted, but useful to know anyway.

Would you mind checking what version you're running?

Thanks.

udev 060-5 is out. There is some changes in the use of rules: http://www.archlinux.org/news.php#162

Got it Snowman - thanks.

Hey guys, udev 061 has just been released so Judd might be pushing yet another Arch udev release out the door soon...

dk · 2005-07-07 03:12:36

Man, I sure hope they don't rip devfs out for the kernel anytime soon.

count on it in the next kernel. Better make the switch now.

hehe... it appears that udev 060-5 has cleared up most of the problems that everyone was experiencing so I don't think you'll have too tough of a time dropping devfs and going to udev. Hope not, anyway...

incinerator · 2005-07-07 11:48:09

Btw, I discovered some funny fact reading the udev manpage:

When writing udev rules, using a single "=" as comparison operator is deprecated. For comparing values people should use "==".
The single "=" should only be used for assignment, like for NAME="%k".

Example rule for hotplugging my Zaurus to the network:

KERNEL=="usb0", DRIVER=="usbnet", NAME="%k", RUN="/etc/udev/scripts/zaurusnet.sh"

lanrat · 2005-07-07 22:41:59

Yes, "=" as comparison operator is deprecated but still can be used. I'd expect another udev release some time soon :-)

For all the people writing custom udev rules: there were many changes in udev rules handling since 057. For example if you don't want standard rules to change your custom rules you can add OPTIONS="last_rule" which will stop processing rules for a given device. More info about this in the forums and bug reports.

The best source for information about changes in udev is the RELEASE-NOTES file in the sources.

Thanks.

You can force the upgrade with -Sf or -Sfu without any problems.
