[systemd-devel] [PATCH] udevd: add --event-timeout commandline option

[Hannes Reinecke]

On large configurations some events take longer than the
default 30 seconds. Killing those events will leave the
machine halfway configured.
So add a commandline option '--event-timeout' to handle these cases.
