Eudev needs that information to be compiled into a binary database /etc/udev/hwdb.bin. Create the initial database: udevadm hwdb --update This command needs to be run each time the hardware information is updated. Contents of Eudev Installed programs Installed libraries Installed directories udevadm and udevd libudev.so /etc/udev, /lib/udev, and /lib/firmware Short Descriptions udevadm Generic udev administration tool: controls the udevd daemon, provides info from the Udev database, monitors uevents, waits for uevents to finish, tests Udev configuration, and triggers uevents for a given device udevadm udevd A daemon that listens for uevents on the netlink socket, creates devices and runs the configured external programs in response to these uevents udevd libudev A library interface to udev device information libudev /etc/udev Contains Udev configuration files, device permissions, and rules for device naming /etc/udev
