[Bug 208668] New: udev does not create symlinks for ID_PATH rules
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208668 Summary: udev does not create symlinks for ID_PATH rules Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: aj@novell.com ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de udev as shipped with SLES10 (and 10.1) will not create symlinks for rules with ID_PATH rules. The reason is the incomplete (or broken) /sbin/path_id. line 360 in /sbin/path_id has this: if [ -L $full_sysfs_path/subsystem ]; then This does not trigger with SLES10 kernel, the correct code branch is taken. With a newer kernel, the broken branch is used and as a result, nothing is returned and the rule does not match. If the above 'subsystem' is changed to 'sUbsystem' to hard disable the branch, a 2.6.18 will again create value symlinks. Updating udev.rpm is of course not an option. If SLES10 were based in 10.0 instead of 10.1, it would mean that one can not use the SLES10 kernel anymore after the package update because udevstart is missing. I demand an udev.rpm update with a fixed path_id. The 'subsystem' test above and its code in the branch has to go. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

And you're asking for an update of udev to fix this? Since we have a common code base, this is a SLE10 decision that Thorsten should make. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
