This does not seem to happen on vanilla, its a mm only issue. The device becomes a regular file, and udev seems to forget about it.. even if I replug in the device, udev will not touch this file. It also seems to have trouble recreating the node even when the file has been deleted Hope that helps, Joe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
