A device number retrieved by a stat() or similar, the +kernel device directory can be found by looking up: + /sys/dev/{block,char}/: +and the device node of the same device by looking up: + /dev/{block,char}/: + +udev 129 +======== +Fix recently introduced bug, which caused a compilation without large +file support, where vol_id does not recognize raid signatures at the end +of a volume. + +Firewire disks now create both, by-id/scsi-* and by-id/ieee-* links. +Seems some kernel versions prevent the creation of the ieee-* links, +so people used the scsi-* link which disappeared now. + +More libudev work. Almost all udevadm functionality comes from libudev +now. + +udevadm trigger has a new option --type, which allows to trigger events +for "devices", for "subsystems", or "failed" devices.
