The question is not really OT, but do some research before posting. |

You are probably running with the automatic save/restore the /dev |
| 15 |
tarball option which isn't really necessary any more, and I have it |
| 16 |
turned off. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Here's data from /etc/conf.d/rc as noted in the Gentoo udev guide: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# Set to "yes" if you want to save /dev to a tarball on shutdown |
| 21 |
# and restore it on startup. This is useful if you have a lot of |
| 22 |
# custom device nodes that udev do not handle/know about. |
| 23 |
# (ONLY used by UDEV enabled systems!) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# Set to "yes" if you want devfsd to start upon bootup. This is |
| 28 |
# the default for Gentoo. |
| 29 |
# Set to "no" only if you understand the full implications. A |
| 30 |
# number of files may need to be altered (i.e. /etc/inittab, |
| 31 |
# /etc/fstab, etc.). |
| 32 |
# Also note that it does _NOT_ start for UDEV enabled systems, |
| 33 |
# even if RC_DEVFSD_STARTUP="yes" ... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
RC_DEVFSD_STARTUP="no" |
