Hi...

The hotplug scripts do not conform to the FHS, which is a policy
violation and therefore a serious bug. The specific problem that I was
having was on a box with an NFS root filesystem:

Starting hotplug subsystem:
   input
   net
   pci
     ignore pci display device on 03:0e.0
   usb
/etc/hotplug/usb.rc: line 1: wc: command not found
/etc/hotplug/usb.rc: line 224: [: -lt: unary operator expected
/etc/hotplug/usb.rc: line 1: which: command not found

The reason for this is very simple:
$ which which
/usr/bin/which
$ which wc
/usr/bin/wc

but /usr is NOT mounted when the hotplug scripts are running!

You cannot use anything from /usr during system boot!

Subject: hotplug: Hotplug is not FHS-compliant

Package: hotplug
Version: N/A; reported 2004-04-02
Severity: normal

This does not apply specically to the system I'm reporting from. I'm
installing a wireless card, and was horrified to find that its firmware
is expected to be someplace under /usr.

Chap 3 of FHS 2.3 begins:
 Chapter 3. The Root Filesystem
 Purpose

 The contents of the root filesystem must be adequate to boot,
 restore, recover, and/or repair the system.

To be able to perform all these functions you may equire a working
network in order to NFS-mount /usr, working USB/firewire to mount a
memory drive and so on.

If the firmware for some critical device is inaccessible, you simply
cannot perform these critical functions. See
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEROOTFILESYSTEM.

This is why the kernel modules, fdisk etc are in /lib, /bin or /sbin and
why libc is in /lib and not /usr/lib.
