  • Better speed: mdev -d parses its config file for every event it receives, and has to perform expensive operations such as -getpwnam() +getpwnam() every time it receives an event (which can add up to hundreds of times at boot!). By contrast, mdevd only parses its config file when it starts - or when it is told to read it again by a SIGHUP; the event processing is streamlined, it does not involve any parsing or any kind of expensive operation - so it is significantly faster. Additionally, unlike mdev, mdevd does not fork its helper scripts — it uses -posix_spawn +posix_spawn instead, which is a lot faster.
