There is no such standard. You can specify the location in the udev.conf file. But be aware that newer udev versions use that value to create a directory and not a single file. > # ls -la /dev/.udev* > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 163840 Dec 15 03:27 /dev/.udev.tdb > > would the best way be to determine if /dev is mounted on tmpfs? > does anyone else use /dev on tmpfs?
