-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Various tools, but most notably partitioners, manipulate disks in such a way that they need to prevent the rest of the system from racing with them while they are in the middle of manipulating the disk. Presently this is done with a hodge podge of hacks that involve running some script or executable to temporarily hold off on some aspects ( typically only auto mounting ) of plug and play processing. Which one depends on whether you are running hal, udisks, udisks2, or systemd. There really needs to be a proper way at a lower level, either udev, or maybe in the kernel, to inhibit processing events until the tool changing the device has finished completely. The question is, should this be in the kernel, or in udev, and what should the interface be? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRwJylAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75TlAH/1Eso89Jta4AFn/ynYZUWwVD xS1Nm8ZbRHQizBFmv5rq5Yunr6XUcUQlux9EeG81QwgJ2mgOAk3XE2ldzOp0lUei cqQYsrdWKHXz8ZXpNG1Jsgw77EUyrs39Z6NmNC+X1AcFbzxRXplGMTJfRSWtW3bw Ngi8MCjKZOx/qNzUcyZnR3tdAF0veLHWtr7j5XvgO+/iomnAxIOcYiSCv1OeDMdX SCx8bULT4/LaRWzbcmpzmh1irMsXavrOwuPzIGBTdMKhByyxnwxiOdIyhOs1OJda 059zK7CxMNidD37ON9hMyMtYz5BeCzZmPJdJ6Ef4G7ZrH++xiI4cGvgVOClP6vI= =Ym1b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
