22 just migrated to sys-fs/udev-197 - everything went smoothly and seems to
23 work. the only observation at this time is absence of device file
24 /dev/root whilst both /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are referring to that
25 device node:
26
27 # grep root /etc/mtab /proc/mounts
28 /etc/mtab:/dev/root / ext4 rw,relatime,commit=0 0 0
29 /proc/mounts:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
30 /proc/mounts:/dev/root / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
31
32 [i'm running 3.6.11-gentoo, proprietary nvidia, sys-fs/mdadm,
33 sys-fs/lvm2, with no initrd of any flavour; the system boots using
34 legacy grub; the root filesystem is on softraid device]
35
36 have i missed something?

38 thank you
