Hi Guys, Trying to figure something out here, using the following I'm seeing a delay in the creation of block devices in /dev ... # trigger the sorted events echo -e '\000\000\000\000' > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug rm -fr /dev/.udev > /dev/null 2>&1 mkdir -p /dev/.udev > /dev/null 2>&1 /sbin/udevd # Not entirely sure what this is for /sbin/udevadm control --env=STARTUP=1 /sbin/udevadm trigger /sbin/udevadm settle # Nor sure what this does /sbin/udevadm control --env=STARTUP= I think my problem is, while all the events have been sent to udevd there is a delay if I do a "fsck LABEL=root" straight on say the next line, a "ls" shows that none of the block devices exist until a second or two later. A sleep 5 before my "ls" works around this and the block devices show up. Any ideas how I can determine once all udev events have finished processing so I can continue boot?
