inotify_add_watch may fail in udev_watch_begin, and then a link with name -1 is created. I do not know why, but it happened once on my system: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug 4 11:27 -1 -> /devices/virtual/block/ram8 Then udev would log an error every time it was restarted: Aug 30 04:17:20 bongo udevd[12451]: unable to move watches dir '/dev/.udev/watch', old watches will not be restored: Directory not empty Maybe the content of the .old directory should also be deleted. -- ciao, Marco
