udev_rules_new() in udev/udev-rules.c unconditionally creates the directory. This is a problem because the function is called also by e.g. udevadm test, and creating /dev/.udev/ when it does not exist is an unacceptable side effect which will break everything else that checks for its existence to know if udev is running. Why is this needed? -- ciao, Marco -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
