I guess i4l does not work with dynamic /dev

Comment 1 Karsten Keil 2006-02-28 10:44:32 UTC

Yes, solution is:
do not copy, if target device file already exist

Comment 2 Karsten Keil 2006-02-28 11:40:15 UTC

done

Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-28 12:26:00 UTC

Why do you create them at all?  Shouldn't this be done via udev?

Comment 4 Karsten Keil 2006-02-28 12:43:13 UTC

udev will handle these static devices on every reboot, but not if you install
i4l the first time in a running system, which must be possible too.
Real udev support need more changes in many places (not only kernel) and I4L
is bugfix only mode.

this should be closed now
