Just a note, udev does not do that by default. It is devfs-nonsense, which the "default" never did. And I think you should also get rid of it, if Gentoo still adds that on top of the udev rules. But sure, there is nothing to complain about making links work, like your patch does. :) Cheers, Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
