Re: bcache-tools: minor change for bcache-register

Gabriel, I might have been unclear about this, but this __IS__ a problem 
on Fedora. Without a full path for modprobe (/sbin/modprobe or 
/usr/sbin/modprobe) in bcache-register, udev does not create the 
/dev/bcache* devices. So at the moment I fix it in the package.

If this is however Fedora specific I'll have the fix it in the package 
of course. But it's hard for me to tell, and /sbin/modprobe seemed like 
a cross-distro solution to me.

/sbin is not in the $PATH for utilities started from udev. For Fedora it
isn't anyway, but it won't harm other distro's neither.

Hi all,

Pardon the interrupt, but this is not the case for Arch Linux:

In my opinion, if modprobe *has* to be called with the exact path name,
it would probably be clearer to use `which modprobe` and then call the
result.

IME the exact path name is unnecessary.
Rolf, your best shot at contributing is to bring up problems that have
actually been encountered on Fedora.  Changes need to come as a side
effect of discussions, not the other way around.
