The in-memory rule array of a common desktop distro install took:
1151088 bytes
with the token list:
109232 bytes tokens (6827 * 16 bytes), 71302 bytes buffer
None of these rules is supposed to be changed by users, so move
them out of /etc. Custom rules, and automatically generated rules
stay in /etc. All rules are still processed in lexical order,
regardless which directory they live in.
Do substitition processing in MODE field, similar to substitution in
OWNER, GROUP etc fields. Add test case for normal and overflow behaviour.
Document in manpage.
These s390-tools-1.6.0 (applicable for the "October 2005 stream") replace s390-tools-1.5.4.
New tools:
* tape390_crypt: Tool to control and query crypto settings for 3592 zSeries tape devices.
* mon_fsstatd: Daemon that writes filesystem utilization data to the z/VM monitor stream.
* dumpconf: Allows to configure the dump device used for system dump in case a kernel panic occurs.
* dasdinfo: Display unique DASD ID, either uid or volser.
* 59-dasd.rules: udev rules for unique DASD device nodes created in /dev/disk/.

This scheme is more consistent and makes it obvious if a match happens
against the event device only, or the full chain of parent devices.
The old key names are now:
BUS -> SUBSYSTEMS
ID -> KERNELS
SYSFS -> ATTRS
DRIVER -> DRIVERS
Match keys for the event device:
KERNEL
SUBSYSTEM
ATTR
DRIVER (in a future release, for now the same as DRIVERS)
Match keys for all devices along the parent device chain:
KERNELS
SUBSYSTEMS
ATTRS
DRIVERS
ID, BUS, SYSFS are no longer mentioned in the man page but still work.
DRIVER must be converted to DRIVERS to match the new scheme. For now,
an error is logged, if DRIVER is used. In a future release, the DRIVER
key behaviour will change.
Consecutive "add" events will not remove and recreate the same symlinks
anymore. No longer valid links, like after changing a filesystem label,
will still be removed.
