udev errors filling up logs

cpcnw · 2015-04-10 06:34:23

Hi can anyone comment / help out with this?

I have a small HD install box here http://www.cpcnw.co.uk/server.htm

From time to time it totally locks up and I end up having to pull power plug. I have noticed that /var/logs/messages has a lot of these;

Apr 9 10:36:19 (none) daemon.err udevd[1067]: error binding udev control socket

Apr 9 10:36:19 (none) daemon.err udevd[1070]: bind failed: Address already in use

Apr 9 10:36:19 (none) user.notice error binding udev control socket

They seem to perist for just a second or so but there are a lot of them!

Should I be worried?

I got fed up with those messages spamming my log.

I can't say if it will have any effect on your lockup issue.

Comment these 2 lines on /etc/init.d/rcS to get rid of the udev socket error messages.

[c]#echo "Using Udev for hotplugging..."[/c]

[c]#echo "/sbin/udevd" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug[/c]

On my 4.0 systems it doesn't appear to disable anything.
