A simple question: in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (on the root partition!) I have a
.rules file for one of my smartcard devices which has, among other things, this
statement:

PROGRAM="/bin/sleep 0.1"

This program is not on the initramfs image, but it is in the /bin directory on
the root partition. I was under the impression that root is not mounted until
udev has finished its job - is that not the case? If so, how is this program
executed then? I also have a lot of other statements with RUN+=... which also
refer to executables not present in initramfs - they are all present in the root
partition. When/How do these execute then?

Am I missing something fundamental here?

udev runs a second time in the real root, just because of this limitation of the initramfs.
