Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-01-03 08:25:59 UTC 
simple change -- add this to /etc/init.d/udev:

extra_started_commands="reload"

reload()
{
    ebegin "Reloading udev rules"
    udevadm control --reload-rules
    eend $?
}

This command line option and function changed in udev upstream.
Now it is --reload, and the function is to reload udev's kernel module
configuration.  There is no way to reload the rules since udev picks up
rules changes automatically.

I have implemented a reload command in our git for udev-gentoo-scripts at
commit 8d3e96f.

This only works for udev git, and will work for udev 176 when it
is released.

Should we back port and do another 171 rev bump for this,?
