57 Hi,
58
59 I re-emerged udev and noticed this little foot note:
60
61 mount options for directory /dev are no longer
62 set in /etc/udev/udev.conf, but in /etc/fstab
63 as for other directories.
64
65 I don't have anything in fstab for /udev. This is what mount reports:
66
67 root@smoker / # mount
68 /dev/hda6 on / type reiserfs (rw)
69 proc on /proc type proc (rw)
70 sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec)
71 udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)
72 devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec)
73 /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
74 /dev/hda7 on /usr/portage type reiserfs (rw)
75 /dev/hda8 on /home type reiserfs (rw)
76 /dev/hda9 on /data type reiserfs (rw)
77 /dev/hdb1 on /backup type ext3 (rw)
78 none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
79 usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
80 binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc
81 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
82 /dev/hdd on /media/hdd type udf
83 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=104,gid=451,umask=007)
84 /dev/hdc on /media/hdc type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
85 root@smoker / #
86
87 udev is there but is this "normal"? How does a person restart udev
88 anyway? Do I have to reboot? I also deleted all the files in /etc/udev
89 before re-emerging udev, just in case. I'm about out of ideas here.
