#1 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » replacement for udev/eudev because of systemd dependency » 2024-09-20 15:59:40

@Camtaf, i suppose change of the init doesnt change udev?

for some reason an usb connected harddisc got lot of I/O errors with power-management set to '128', so i tried to make a udev rule for automatic update this setting to APM_level = off, which seems to be not persistent. this should work by mounting the device.
because of the info in my first post i was not motivated anymore to find the error. furthermore i didnt wanted to play around too much on this device, because of 'strange noises'. so i change the device anyway..

but out of curiosity i will try a new rule:

ACTION=="change", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0480", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0900", RUN+="/home/usr/.local/bin/mounthdd2"

with

sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/disk/by-uuid/<id>

maybe it works now with spacefm

i tried to make an autostart fix for a harddisc but couldnt get it to run, then i realized that udev/eudev is more of a problem than the solution, eg it behaves not predictable. than i read that pottering has its finger in the game.. another thing i read is from hyperbola forum

...depending always on upstream. To be compatible with systemd-udev eudev needs to jump the same, include the same development and function-calls. So eudev is per definition not free from systemd. It never was, it never will be. The same as with elogind...

the inclusion of udev into systemd is the big elephant in the room. And with its exclusive integration systemd became also even more integral element.

im not per se with hyperbola but in this case i made my own experience with udev and i would like to see a replacement for udev/eudev. are there already steps in this direction?

i tried devuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_minimal-live from usb, but it wont load the graphical environment and stops at the command line, tried a different distribution live iso which worked with a graphical environment. i have a laptop lenovo w500, which is technical very similar to the t400 and an old external monitor. the devuan system asked me a resolution question with a list i can choose from or i have to wait some seconds, but im not sure if this is related to the problem.
