(One more note: you can also disable the inotify thing if you like via
OPTIONS and "watch" in the udev rules file. But this is not a
comprehensive work-around, as it just disables the automatic
rescanning, uevents generated for the block devices otherwise will
still be triggered, and that can really happen any time (i.e. for any
kind of device a "udevadm trigger -a change" should be safe at any
time, if it's not then the app is borked).
