Hello all, I am running RH EL4 distro. I have upgraded the kernel to 2.6.12.4, and the udev package to 0.71. >From my understanding, after reboot, the udev db directory should be created as follows - /dev/.udev.tdb , but however, what ends up happenning is that a file called /dev/.udev.tdb is created. # ls -l /dev/.udev.tdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1752 Dec 14 02:16 /dev/.udev.tdb Is it wrong the .udev.tdb is created as a file, and not a dir. I get error messages in the /vag/log/messages such as - udev_db_add_device: unable to create db file '/dev/.udev.tdb/class@misc@device-mapper' My /etc/udev/udev.conf is as follows: # udev.conf # The main config file for udev # # This file can be used to override some of udev's default values # for where it looks for files, and where it places device nodes. # # WARNING: changing any value, can cause serious system breakage! # # udev_root - where in the filesystem to place the device nodes udev_root="/dev/" # udev_db - The name and location of the udev database. udev_db="/dev/.udev.tdb" # udev_rules - The name and location of the udev rules file udev_rules="/etc/udev/rules.d/" # udev_permissions - The name and location of the udev permission file udev_permissions="/etc/udev/permissions.d/" # default_mode - set the default mode for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_mode="0600" # default_owner - set the default owner for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_owner="root" # default_group - set the default group for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_group="root" # udev_log - set to "yes" if you want logging, else "no" udev_log="yes" Thank you, Aha. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
