1 grml-udev-config for Debian
2 ---------------------------
6 A custom rule file /etc/udev/z30_grml.rules is installed by the grml udev
7 package. This file contains a udev rule to map USB-Pendrives (or USB-Sticks) to
8 the /dev/external* device nodes (or symlinks respectively). This allows us to
9 easily mount USB-Sticks on a grml System and you don't risk to accidentialy
10 overwrite your SCSI/S-ATA disk.
11 Note: These rules are deprecated in favour of the grml_usbdev rules mentioned
12 below. Nevertheless this way of accessing USB-Pendrives is retained for
13 backwards compatibility reasons.
17 The rule file /etc/udev/z31_grml_usbdev.rules is installed. The rules contained
18 in there allow simple access to USB devices like pendrives upon plugging them
19 in. You'll get according symlinks in /dev (prefixed with 'usb-'), entries in
20 /etc/fstab (via rebuildfstab) and directories in /mnt according to available
21 labeled filesystems for free. On removal of the usb device the symlinks and
22 usb*-directories in /mnt will automatically vanish.
24 To prevent udev from automatically creating the directories and fstab entries
25 please rename the rules file by executing:
27 mv z31_grml_usbdev.rules \#z31_grml_usbdev.rules
29 inside the directory /etc/udev/rules.d
31 Persistent network interfaces
32 =============================
33 Don't run write_net_rules on any occasion, it's evil on a Live-CD. The script is
34 still shipped and can be enabled manually to get persistent network interfaces
35 across reboots (e.g. after a hd-install). Just execute
37 mv \#75_persistent-net-generator.rules 75_persistent-net-generator.rules
39 in /etc/udev/rules.d and reload the udev rules with 'udevcontrol reload_rules'
42 Or better just see 'grml-tips udev' for other ways to get persistent network
47 The udev version on grml is built without support for SELinux.
51 The generation of the udeb package has been disabled in debian/rules (by
52 removing BUILD_UDEB := 1) as this is not needed on grml. Some grml specific
53 functions have been added to the init script and to the maintainer scripts.
57 Since version 0.103-0grml1 this package is maintained in the grml hg repository
58 at http://hg.grml.org/udev. The version in the git repository at
59 http://git.distanz.ch is not maintained anymore.
