devd

On Linux, udevadm issues a trigger on boot so all the "ATTACH" events in rules get triggered on boot. FreeBSD does not have this. So you write a devd rule to trigger on USB "ATTACH" event, and it works only if you if you plug something in after you booted. Beautiful. But if you reboot, the...

I'd like to format SD-cards and USB-thumb drives with zfs. When plugged-in I'd like them to automatically mount read-only, so that I can carelessly pull them out again. I guess I need a devd rule with zfs import/export and rmdir. Is there somebody here doing similar? How do you?

Hello, I am a developer of freebsd-kpi-rs and freebsd-kmi-rs (R4FBSDk - Rust for FreeBSD kernel). Recently I have released the devd(8) re-implemented in Rust (ported from closed source code which I developed for the client) and I was planning to submit port for review. But, for reasons beyond...

Hello! Anyone know where or how to find the needed matches for an automation inside devd.conf? I am trying to run a script when the pppoe goes down. This is what I have till now: # Notify WAN 1 Down notify 0 { match "system" "IFNET"; match "subsystem" "pppoe0"; match "type"...

Is there a way to rename a device (e.g. using devfs rules) within /dev (e.g. rename /dev/cuaU0 -> /dev/zigbee) or create a second node that points to the same piece of hardware (i.e. both /dev/cuaU0 and /dev/zigbee refer to the same device)? I would like to pass a custom named device (e.g...

I have this devd config file: root@kg-core1:~ # cat /usr/local/etc/devd/hifive1.conf # allow group (operator) to access the usb connection of hifive1 notify 100 { match "system" "USB"; match "subsystem" "INTERFACE"; match "type" "ATTACH"...

pam_u2f - is an important library because it supports many inexpensive u2f keys available from different manufacturers. You can log in as a user or log in via ssh, for example. Luckily it works fine on FreeBSD 13.0 (pam_u2f-1.2.0, u2f-devd-1.1.10_6, libfido2-1.8.0). Here is the Makefile...

I was thinking of compiling / reinstalling my xorg from ports with devd instead of udev backend on 13.1-RELEASE. But I don't know if it would break some stuff? Or be incompatible with certain things. I run icewm and e16. Does anyone still use devd for xorg?

Hello, Recently I've switched from Slackware to FreeBSD-13.0 on my T430s. I'm very happy with how does the system run etc. but some things just seem to not work that well: Laptop goes to sleep after opening a lid. To suspend the laptop I have to close and then open the lid, only after then it...

Hi all, I can't get this devd script to fire, i.e. no log message written to /var/log/messages: notify 1000 { match "system" "kern"; match "subsystem" "power"; match "type" "resume"; action "/usr/sbin/logger -p kern.notice XXX"; }...

Hi all, I am trying to build some devd rules that will trigger on various conditions. devd.conf(5) only has an incomplete list of the various systems, subsystems, and types available. Is there a better place to be looking for this info? In particular I would like to see the events for ZFS...

Hi guys, I've created a way to simulate the arp.balance option that existed in previous versions of Carp in FreeBSD. what do you think ? https://gist.github.com/lgcosta/d7dce5aac1f83c64d53d548f5e9f695e In principle this solves my case, but would i have problems with arp tables? or was this...

Dear all, I am trying to configure devd or devfs rules to always create a specific /dev name for a couple of devices (gamepads/game controllers). I would like for them to always have the same /dev name that way one is not picked up instead of the other if I have them both plugged in. Is this...
