&gt; Question: Why would I replace a known system to a unknown one? The effort required to replace udev with mdev could be used to create an initramfs to mount that /usr , or alter the /etc/init.d/udev-mount to depend on an extra service, which does nothing else, but mount /usr . With the latter, further upgrades would just need to keep the extra depend in the init script, long live config-protect.<br>

&gt;</p>
<p>IMO, initramfs adds yet another black box during server boot. Plus, udev is getting more and more complex with all its intelligence. And yet another daemon in memory, something I certainly don&#39;t need on my static virtualized servers.</p>

<p>Rgds,<br>
