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