udevd[346]: specified group 'plugdev' unknown

Trying to figure out what this error means and how to correct it.

udevd[346]: specified group 'plugdev' unknown

I'm running FC17 x64. / Gnome3

I see the error in /var/log/messages each time I plug in or eject a removable device such as an SD card or my Kindle attached to a USB port.

Additionally, it seems to happen every 5 minutes or so.

Jul 16 09:03:31 localhost udevd[346]: specified group 'plugdev' unknown

Everything seems to work okay.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Well I suppose I solved it.

I just did a groupadd plugdev and the error went away.

Strange.....

Re: udevd[346]: specified group 'plugdev' unknown

not really - it doesn't explain what is looking for the group. I searched through all of /etc/udev/* and came up empty. I found a bugzilla that indicates the group shouldn't be used on Fedora - it's a Ubuntu only thing. Sounds like we didn't clean something up right - not sure what was missed.
