 Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 8:15 am Post subject: udevadm --reload-rules not working [SOLVED] |
 |
|
here's a bug report on the matter:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237874
there has been no reponse from the bugzilla people
I think that the data I provided in the bug report is
sufficient to show that there is a real problem occurring.
If someone has any ideas on how I can supply more
data to either verify with greater detail that the problem exists,
and/or to provide more debugging info, please let me know.
the problems persist with udev-129

Ignoring all the text about specific rules, as this bug is about udevadm
control.
udevadm control --reload-rules
does just what it tells: It reloads the rules into udevd.
It does NOT re-process the devices!
To do this you can issue
udevadm trigger
|
Do you now consider the matter solved?

Yes...
and I appreciate your response to my bug report very much as I was getting
very frustrasted by the whole thing.
I spent at lot of time reading all sorts of man pages and udev web pages
with no definitive answer.
the current (udev-129) 'man udevadm' shows the following:
| Quote: |
udevadm trigger [options]
Request device events from the kernel. Usually used to replay events at system coldplug
time.
|
which is hardly, imo, clear that this should be used to "re-process the devices".
Of course, 'udev' is under heavy development and it is (somewhat) understandable
that the docs for it don't always keep up.
there is still one thing that I wonder about...
in the original bug report, I included a paste of 'strace udevadm control --reload-rules',
which seems to show that the rules files were not being reloaded.
In that strace, I see only three files being opened:
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/udev/udev.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
So, am I misreading the strace, or what?

for the record, I was trying to adopt a post, I am not the bugs.gentoo.org helper.
But as per your question. You are not misreading strace, but you are missing "it".
udevadm does not reload the rules, it tells udevd to do it.
| Code: | socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) = 3
sendto(3, "udevd_124\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 292, 0, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@/org/kernel/udev/udevd}, 25) = 292
close(3) |
