-There is a problem with udev: when a volume is created, there is a delay
-before corresponding /dev/ubiX_Y device node is created by udev, so some
-tests fail because of this. The symptom is error messages like
-"cannot open /dev/ubi0_0".
-
-One possible solution of this problem is to pre-create UBI device and volume
-nodes. there is even a script which may be used for this in ubi-utils/scripts/.
-But this is not enough because udev will still remove and re-create the nodes
-and tests will still fail. So you need to stop removing device nodes using
-the following udev rule:
-
- KERNEL=="ubi*_*", ACTION=="remove", OPTIONS+="ignore_device"
-
-In our Ubuntu distribution we put that to new file:
-/etc/udev/rules.d/50-local.rules
-
-Another possibility is to call udevsettle utility in libubi after the volume
-has been created See src/libubi.c - the call is there but is commented out.
-This is anyway an ugly hack, but works, although makes the tests slower.
