Mind the _re_-mount, if udev discovers /dev not being mounted, udev does. if udev discovers /dev mounted, no mount action is taken. Earlier versions remounted /dev regardless. My best practice is to have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT enabled: I don't use initrd (except for disk encryption) and I still find my disks during init=/bin/bash recovery. and it does not hurt, anymore. -- Michael Weber Gentoo Developer web: https://xmw.de/ mailto: Michael Weber <x...@gentoo.org>
