Hi all,
Gentoo ships with cryptsetup 1.0.6. This version introduced a call to
udevsettle, which got 'corrected' to a call to udevadm. As far as I can
see, this is supposed to avoid a race condition.
What I am interested in is, which race condition that exactly is, and
what exactly cryptsetup still needs to do after that point.
I am asking since udev is not the only hotplugging mechanism. Personally
I feel that calling a specific external program is just not the right
way, to handle something like that.
For my usage case busybox is used together with busybox' mdev, thus a
call to udevsettle (or udevadm for that matter) is pretty much pointless.
Regards
-Sven
