Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Switch from mdevd to systemd-udevd in root filesystem
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:32:37 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924-udev-v2-0-6089de521b3b@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250913-udev-v1-0-eade4ab8f2b4@gmail.com>

systemd-udevd provides support for significantly more hardware than
mdevd does.  Therefore, switch to it.

All of the non-Nix code has been tested.  However, this was done using
an alternate default.nix (see v1) that used glibc.  NixOS's binary cache
doesn't include many packages built with musl, and Spectrum OS's binary
cache doesn't include packages built with systemd's libudev, so a huge
number of packages need to be built from source.  This still has not
finished.

Changes in v2:
- Use more optional arguments instead of positional parameters in
  sd-notify-wrapper.
- Explain why explicit modprobe is needed.
- Link to v1: https://spectrum-os.org/lists/archives/spectrum-devel/20250913-udev-v1-0-eade4ab8f2b4@gmail.com
