Subject: devicekit-disks: Outdated / missing information from udev

Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:40:41 +0200

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 007-1
Severity: important

devicekit-disks installs a udev rules file which makes additional
information available (it uses the DKD_ namespace in the udev db).

After an upgrade from previous versions or a fresh install, this
information is outdated or missing which can lead to unexpected results,
e.g. I noticed that in palimpsest an extended partition was not
correctly shown and it showed incorrect values for remaining space on
the disk.

An easy solution is to reboot, we would like though to have it
working ootb without the need to reboot. Another possibility could be to run
"udevadm trigger" in postinst.

I found Scott's summary about this again [1], and played around with
this. I'll add

  udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=block --action=change

to the postinst.

I think we should minimize the potential breakage and only actually trigger
udevadm, when the udev rules files actually change.
I.e. on a fresh install only or with a version check when the udev rules file
was changed.
Or is udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=block --action=change
so safe and quick that we don't need to care?

Michael
