On some distros / versions, udev rules for MARS are needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Without any udev rules, /dev/mars/mydata is created with the sticky bit set.
|
||
|
|
As a result, the device will not vanish when leaving primary state.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In turn, some commands like "marsadm secondary" will complain about that
|
||
|
|
by means of timeouts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On other distros / versions, catch-all rules are present which _would_
|
||
|
|
prevent the sticky bit problem. However, some syntax errors prevent this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains distro- and version-dependent stuff. I did not have
|
||
|
|
the time to fully analyze all distros / distro versions and their udev
|
||
|
|
rules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since I am not an expert in writing udev rules (and I just needed
|
||
|
|
a quickfix for my own work), the files in this directoy should
|
||
|
|
be regarded as examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, the file 65-mars.rules should be copied to /lib/udev/rules.d/
|
||
|
|
on some newer Debian distros. OTOH, some elder Debians don't seem to
|
||
|
|
need this (but may need debian-udev.patch).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Distro maintainers should improve on this and/or provide better solutions.
