This is not how udev is normally used nowadays (devtmpfs was explicitly made to fix various issues with the initial static /dev and handover to udev) on PCs. Compared to udev, devtmpfs is very lightweight. I would recommend pure devtmpfs (no mdev/udev) to people using static /dev today. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
