%general-entities; ]> Hotplug Install the Hotplug package: make install Copy a file that the install target omits. cp etc/hotplug/pnp.distmap /etc/hotplug Remove the init script that Hotplug installs, since we're going to be using the script included with LFS-Bootscripts: rm -rf /etc/init.d Network device hotplugging is not supported by LFS bootscripts yet. For that reason, remove the network hotplug agent: rm -f /etc/hotplug/net.agent Installed program Installed scripts Installed files hotplug /etc/hotplug/*.rc, /etc/hotplug/*.agent /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions, /etc/hotplug/blacklist, /etc/hotplug/{pci,usb}, /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, /etc/hotplug.d Short Descriptions hotplug hotplug This script is called by default by Linux kernel when something changes in its internal state (e.g., a new device is added or removed). /etc/hotplug/*.rc /etc/hotplug/*.rc These scripts are used for cold plugging, i.e., detection and other specific actions upon hardware already present during system startup. They are called by the hotplug initscript that comes from the LFS-Bootscripts package. The *.rc scripts try to recover hotplug events that were lost during system boot because, e.g., the root filesystem was not mounted by the kernel. /etc/hotplug/*.agent /etc/hotplug/*.agent These scripts are called by hotplug in response to different types of hotplug events generated by the kernel. Their action is to insert corresponding kernel modules and call user-provided scripts, if any. /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions This file contains common functions used by other scripts in Hotplug package. /etc/hotplug/blacklist /etc/hotplug/blacklist This file contains the list of modules that should never be inserted into the kernel by hotplug scripts. /etc/hotplug/{pci,usb} /etc/hotplug/{pci,usb} These directories are supposed to contain user-written handlers for hotplug events. /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap This file contains rules that determine which user-defined handlers to call for each USB device, based on its vendor, id and other attributes. /etc/hotplug.d /etc/hotplug.d This directory contains programs (or symlinks to them) that are interested in receiving hotplug events. E.g., Udev puts its symlink here during installation.
