Hallo, Josef,
Du meintest am 16.06.11:
Who the hell doesn't use udev?
Me - p.e.
"udev" may be interesting for desktop users, for multimedia
computers. It's not necessary for a simple server, for a machine
where the administrator wants to rule instead of "udev".
You don't need udev to use btrfs, I've just not seen a distro that
allows you to not run with udev, so my question is more curiosity
than anything.
But the developers seem to use only machines where "udev" runs.
p.e. when testing the disks (I've told this bug about 1 year ago), p.e.
with "/dev/btrfs-control".
"btrfs-control" has to exist before btrfs is started, and there is
neither a hint in the documentation nor a check.
Sorry Helmut, but I don't understand if you are blaming about lack of
documentation or about a problem.
The fact that the file /dev/btrfs-control doesn't exist, is not a
bug/problem of btrfs. This file should be created by the distribution:
or via the udev or via devtmpfs or statically. In this is not different
by any other device (like /dev/sdaX for example). They have to exists
before mounting the root-filesystem.
