- - To build all 'udev extras', libacl, libglib2, libusb, usbutils, pciutils,
- and gperf are needed. These dependencies can be disabled with the
- --disable-extras configure option.
+ - The 'udev extras' has the following dependencies:
+ libacl, libglib2, libusb, usbutils, pciutils, and gperf.
+ These dependencies can be disabled with the --disable-extras configure option.
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
- - Restarting the daemon does never apply any rules to existing devices.
+ - Restarting the daemon never applies any rules to existing devices.
- New/changed rule files are picked up automatically; there is no daemon
restart or signal needed.
