86d56134 | 8 | The uevent helper program is forked by the kernel for |
6a8d8abb | 9 | every uevent. |
7934779a KS |
10 | Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was |
11 | used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It | |
12 | usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug. | |
13 | This should not be used today, because usual systems create | |
14 | many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time | |
15 | frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes | |
16 | that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems | |
17 | it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup. | |

2b2af54a | 31 | help |
da5e4ef7 | 32 | This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup. |
4237e5fd KS |
33 | In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device |
34 | nodes with their default names and permissions for all | |
35 | registered devices with an assigned major/minor number. | |
36 | Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add | |
37 | symlinks, and apply needed permissions. | |
38 | It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually | |
39 | udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful | |
40 | symlinks. | |
41 | In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient | |
42 | functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple | |
43 | rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers. | |
