 |
|
Hi!
When I boot up I get this error message:
| Code: |
udevd[936]: main: the kernel does not support inotify, udevd can't monitor configuration file changes
|
It passes on and boots up normally after that, there seems to be no problems.. But it wasn't there the last time I rebooted, and I don't know if it's good or not. 
I really don't know what caused it, I did a emerge -NuD world, installed mutt, gnupg and I did a lot of other stuff before I rebooted...
Anyone know what it's about? I tried to google it but it turned out nothing.
Thanks

andm461c,
You are missing a 'nice to have' feature. The kernel is able to notify user space programs when files change.
This feature is called Inotify support in the kernel.
Its a kernel rebuild to fix it.
Go into make menuconfig. Press /, enter intoify and go to the menu path it tells you.
Turn on Intoify Support and build install and reboot your kernel
