Hi all...

I have just remembered that udev mounts /dev as a tmpfs filesystem, _on top_
of the old /dev directory.


Well, that's the way _your_ distro does it. Mine has an empty /dev on
the root filesystem, and the init scripts create a ramfs on top of /dev
at boot time, which udev fills up.


I don't like this "my distro is better than yours".
Any pointer to some code online?


Thanx very much
