No more MAKEDEV?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Looking at some of the inefficiencies in bootup (in regards to the 5
second Fedora boot), we came across MAKEDEV. To be short - it's a pig.

The only user of it in Fedora is udev, which uses it for entries in
/etc/udev/makedev.d. However, there's an already-upstream solution
of putting device nodes in /lib/udev/devices. Why not just use this,
remove MAKEDEV, simplify start_udev, and boot faster?
