So I rewrote it yesterday, so now it passes the testsuite. I also added
a test. It's in 3.2-pre4: if there are no more requests/bugs in the
next couple of days, I'll make that 3.3.
My major request is support for /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ in modprobe:
now that the hotplug subsystem does not know anymore the name of the
module to be loaded, it's up to modprobe to check the system blacklist.
IME, without this feature users will not accept hotplug-ng.
Why not this or something similar (e.g. I want to blacklist the xxx and
yyy modules)? (note, untested)
in /etc/modprobe.d/hotplug_blacklist:
install xxx /sbin/blacklisted xxx
install yyy /sbin/blacklisted yyy
In /sbin/blacklisted:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$SEQNUM" ] ; then
/sbin/modprobe -i "$@"
else
exit 1
fi
Any other variable that is certainly present in hotplug events will also
work instead of $SEQNUM.
