slow uevents processing about eudev HOT 5 CLOSED

Fluxer, can you test this issue with eudev-1.0.

from eudev.

It still is, even with a newer kernel - 3.9.6. But previously I've experienced that with 3.4.35 too.

I just compiled it with the configure options you provided in #60 (except that I added "--enable-libkmod") and it works fine now. However, it seems strange to me that the convention you mention at #60 seems legit and the right thing to do but it's not done by default, so I have to specify exec_prefix, libdir, with-rootlibdir, with-rootprefix and whatnot to achieve this (and I'm not entirely sure what all these do) and once you change something it breaks for me (and probably others). Can you make eudev install in /lib, /bin and /sbin by default (omitting the header, manual pages, pkgconfig files, basicly everything not so essential for the boot process) so we don't have to specify all of these prefixes and such? If it is just me, I can handle it but due to #60 it doesn't seem that way.

You're right and cleaning up the install directory structure needs to be a priority. We had a lot of different needs pulling us in different directions.

For the records, can you give the ./configure options you were using? It might provide a clue as to what to avoid.

At some point I close this bug and open up a QA bug referencing these two.

Here you go:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --libdir=/usr/lib \
            --with-rootprefix= \
            --with-rootlibdir=/lib \
            --libexecdir=/lib \
            --sbindir=/sbin \
            --enable-libkmod \
            --enable-modules \
            --enable-gudev
