The reporter is now saying that --action=add does not touch nodes that
are already in the file system, so, for example, if you mount devtmpfs
on /dev then call udevadm trigger --action=add, the permissions,
ownership, etc, of nodes that already exist are not touched. So, he is
suggesting that we add another udevadm trigger call with --action=change
to the cold boot sequence.

Is this a bug in udev, or should we add this extra udevadm trigger call?
