Hallo, Tomasz,

Sorry - no.
On the machines I use I don't need udev (they are a kind of server, not  
end user workstations with often changing hardware). And I could abstain  
(? - please excuse my gerlish) from btrfs, but not from fixed device  
names.

I may not believe that btrfs only works under udev.

How and where? From where gets the system the actual minor number 234  
instead of the defined number 55?

By the way - the btrfs module is "builtin", is that a problem?

Viele Gruesse!
