Help with udev
Hi
Have just upgraded my debian kernel from 2.6.7 to 2.6.8 On boot I get the following warning message warning: .udevdb already exists on the old /dev I've checked this forum and google but can't find anything helpful The system seems to be running ok but will the above cause me problems if so can someone explain how I can fix it Thanks in advance Sls |
What does your /etc/udev/udev.conf look like?

Hi
I have removed kernel 2.6.7 but it seems to have a link to the old /dev when I boot the new kernel Below is my udev.conf file. # udev.conf # The main config file for udev # # This file can be used to override some of udev's default values # for where it looks for files, and where it places device nodes. # udev_root - where in the filesystem to place the device nodes udev_root="/dev/" # udev_db - The name and location of the udev database. udev_db="/dev/.udevdb" # udev_rules - The name and location of the udev rules files udev_rules="/etc/udev/rules.d/" # udev_permissions - The name and location of the udev permission file udev_permissions="/etc/udev/permissions.d/" # default_mode - set the default mode for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_mode="0660" # default_owner - set the default owner for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_owner="root" # default_group - set the default group for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_group="root" # udev_log - set to "yes" if you want logging, else "no" udev_log="yes" # maximum size of the /dev tmpfs tmpfs_size="5M" Thanks for the help Sls |
Try putting a "u" in fron of "/dev/" for both udev_root & udev_db
udev_root="/udev/" # udev_db=""/udev/.udevdb" y2k |
Hi Y2K
Thanks for the help I think it is sorted now It seems to write a temp file for /dev when using the 2.6.8 kernel using udev and reverts to the original /dev when booting the 2.6.7 kernel Ta Sls |
