Devices with higher +priorities overwrite the symlinks of devices with lower priorities. +If the device that currently owns the link, goes away, the symlink +will be removed, and recreated, pointing to the next device with the +highest actual priority. This should make /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid,id} +more reliable, if multiple devices contain the same metadata and overwrite +these symlinks. + +The dasd_id program is removed from the udev tree, and dasdinfo, with the +needed rules, are part of the s390-tools now. + +Please add KERNEL=="[0-9]*:[0-9]*" to the scsi wait-for-sysfs rule, +we may get the scsi sysfs mess fixed some day, and this will only catch +the devices we are looking for. + +USB serial numbers for storage devices have the target:lun now appended, +to make it possibble to distinguish broken multi-lun devices with all +the same SCSI identifiers. + +Note: The extra "run_directory" which searches and executes stuff in +/etc/hotplug.d/ and /etc/dev.d/ is long deprecated, and will be removed +with the next release. Make sure, that you don't use it anymore, or +provides your own implementation of that inefficient stuff. +We are tired of reports about a "slow udev", because these directories +contain stuff, that runs with _every_ event, instead of using rules, +that run programs only for the matching events. + +udev 106 +======== +Bugfixes. + udev 105 ======== -Bugfixes.
