Would disabling the watch rule be a reasonable approach in this case? If the user want to scan a new device, it only needs to issue partprobe or kpartx, or am I missing something?
There is on going 'SID' project - that might push the logic somewhat further, but existing 'device' support logic as is today is unfortunate 'trace' of how the design should not have been made - and since all 'original' programmers left the project long time ago - it's non-trivial to push things forward.
Well, this is not good news. Just for my education, it is possibile to run a modern linux distro without udev at all? I still remember when the new cool thing for device autodiscovery was devfs (with some distro - like gentoo - taking the alternative approach to simply tarrig & untarring much of the entire /dev/ files to prepopulate the major+minor number...)
We just hope the SID will make some progress (although probably small one at the beginning).
Any info on the project?
