I haven't tried the event_timeout= option but I think it will not work. The timeout is hard coded as shown below and there will be no chance for taking the event_timeout= option into account. ---------- systemd-204/src/udev/udevd.c start ---------- (...snipped...) /* check for hanging events */ udev_list_node_foreach(loop, &worker_list) { struct worker *worker = node_to_worker(loop); if (worker->state != WORKER_RUNNING) continue; if ((now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) - worker->event_start_usec) > 30 * 1000 * 1000) { log_error("worker [%u] %s timeout; kill it\n", worker->pid, worker->event ? worker->event->devpath : "<idle>"); kill(worker->pid, SIGKILL); worker->state = WORKER_KILLED; /* drop reference taken for state 'running' */ worker_unref(worker); if (worker->event) { log_error("seq %llu '%s' killed\n", udev_device_get_seqnum(worker->event->dev), worker->event->devpath); worker->event->exitcode = -64; event_queue_delete(worker->event, true); worker->event = NULL; } } } (...snipped...) ---------- systemd-204/src/udev/udevd.c end ---------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
