Kay Sievers79347792010-01-14 22:49:39 +01009 Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
10 used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
11 usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
12 This should not be used today, because usual systems create
13 many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
14 frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
15 that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
16 it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

Peter Korsgaardda5e4ef2010-03-16 21:55:21 +010031 This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
Kay Sievers4237e5f2010-01-14 22:47:57 +010032 In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
33 nodes with their default names and permissions for all
34 registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
35 Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
36 symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
37 It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
38 udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
39 symlinks.
40 In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
41 functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
42 rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.

David Woodhoused172e7f2008-06-25 13:56:07 +010098 that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
