Description Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon 2006-07-31 02:47:33 UTC
at least for the package used for amd64 stable (sys-fs/udev-087-r1) there is no rule to create /dev/rawctl even if there are rules for /dev/raw/raw[0-9] as part of the support for raw devices.

since "raw devices" are obsolete and currently removed from the kernel, i don't see it as being a problem going forward, but i suspect that the rules would either have both or none to be consistent.

removing both will be mostly as valid, but probably will affect users of old kernels which are still using the "raw" module

As the raw driver is now gone from the kernel, I'll just close this one.
Comment 3 Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon 2006-08-30 22:02:33 UTC
IMHO, it would be better to add rawctl support, so that all users of the kernel that have this udev configuration can fully use it.

but if raw devices are not to be managed from udev, i would rather also remove the current rule that manages /dev/raw/raw[0-9] just to be consistent, as one can't be used without the other.

whatever the resolution though, i agree that it is not a showstopper in any case.
