NAME         top

       udev.conf - Configuration for device event managing daemon

SYNOPSIS         top

       /etc/udev/udev.conf

DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-udevd(8) expects its main configuration file at
       /etc/udev/udev.conf. It consists of a set of variables allowing
       the user to override default udev values. All empty lines or
       lines beginning with '#' are ignored. The following variables can
       be set:

       udev_log=
           The log level. Valid values are the numerical syslog
           priorities or their textual representations: err, info and
           debug.

           Added in version 216.

       children_max=
           An integer. The maximum number of events executed in
           parallel. When unspecified or 0 is specified, the maximum is
           determined based on the system resources.

           This is the same as the --children-max= option.

           Added in version 240.

       exec_delay=
           An integer. Delay the execution of each RUN{program}
           parameter by the given number of seconds. This option might
           be useful when debugging system crashes during coldplug
           caused by loading non-working kernel modules.

           This is the same as the --exec-delay= option.

           Added in version 240.

       event_timeout=
           An integer. The number of seconds to wait for events to
           finish. After this time, the event will be terminated. The
           default is 180 seconds.

           This is the same as the --event-timeout= option.

           Added in version 240.

       resolve_names=
           Specifies when systemd-udevd should resolve names of users
           and groups. When set to early (the default), names will be
           resolved when the rules are parsed. When set to late, names
           will be resolved for every event. When set to never, names
           will never be resolved and all devices will be owned by root.

           This is the same as the --resolve-names= option.

           Added in version 240.

       timeout_signal=
           Specifies a signal that systemd-udevd will send on worker
           timeouts. Note that both workers and spawned processes will
           be killed using this signal. Defaults to SIGKILL.

           Added in version 246.

       In addition, systemd-udevd can be configured by command line
       options and the kernel command line (see systemd-udevd(8)).
