udev - a userspace implementation of devfs
|
|
|
|
For more information on the design, and structure of this project, see the
|
|
files in the docs/ directory.
|
|
|
|
To use:
|
|
|
|
- Edit the udev.h file and replace the following variables with values
|
|
that make sense for your system:
|
|
#define SYSFS_ROOT "/sys"
|
|
#define UDEV_ROOT "/home/greg/linux/udev/"
|
|
#define DEV_FILE "/dev"
|
|
#define MKNOD "/bin/mknod"
|
|
The only value most people will have to change is the UDEV_ROOT
|
|
variable, as I doubt you really want device nodes to be created in my
|
|
home directory :)
|
|
|
|
- Run make to build the project.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure sysfs is mounted.
|
|
|
|
- Point /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug at the location of the udev binary that
|
|
is created. Then plug some block devices in, or other types of
|
|
devices that create dev files in sysfs. An easy way to do this,
|
|
without any hardware is to use the scsi_debug module to create virtual
|
|
scsi devices.
|
|
|
|
- Watch as the nodes get created and removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes this is a really rough first cut, I know. It's mostly a proof of
|
|
concept that this can actually work. See the TODO file for a list of
|
|
things left to be done.
|
|
|
|
Any comment/questions/concerns please let me know.
