unusable because the kernel may create too many processes in parallel
so that the system runs out-of-memory.

Setup:
- At bootup, the /dev directory should get the 'devtmpfs' filesystem
- The udev daemon should be started to handle device events sent by the kernel.
During bootup, the kernel can be asked to send events for all already existing
- devices, to apply the configuration to these devices. This is usually done by:
+ devices so that they too can be configured by udev. This is usually done by:
/sbin/udevadm trigger --type=subsystems
/sbin/udevadm trigger --type=devices
