mdevd

+ +

What is it ?

+ +

+ mdevd is a small daemon managing kernel hotplug events, similarly to udevd. +

+ +

+ It uses the same configuration file as +mdev, +which is a hotplug manager integrated in the +Busybox suite of tools. +However, mdev needs to be registered in +/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug, and the kernel forks +an instance of mdev for every event; by contrast, mdevd is a daemon +and does not fork. +

+ +

+ The point of mdevd is to provide a drop-in replacement to mdev +that does not fork, so it can handle large influxes of events +at boot time without a performance drop. mdevd is designed to be +entirely compatible with advanced mdev usage such as +mdev-like-a-boss. +

+ +
