 For a start you could blame the correct package.
 As you can see from /etc/init.d/udev-mtab, by default udev itself does
 not add /dev/.static/dev to /etc/mtab.
 I am reassigning the bug to initscripts which looks a likely candidate
 for updating mtab.

There are two options here.  One is to make /dev/.static/ readable by
all users, to avoid the permission denied error from df.  The other is
to remove /dev/.static/dev from /etc/mtab.  The latter will remove the
error message from df while creating a new error message from umount
during shutdown when all file systems are umounted.

I'm not quite sure what is best.  If I got it right, you maintain
udev.  What is your opinion on this.  Why is /dev/.static/ unaccesable
for non-root users?

BTW, there is already udev-mtab which adds /dev to mtab.

This looks like an appropriate solution, IMHO. What error message? It
can probably be avoided with some specific code for unmounting
/dev/.static/dev

Thank you for your good work!

Bug#391286: df: `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied

[Zlatko Calusic]

Package: udev
Version: 0.100-2
Severity: minor

chmod in this chunk of code in /etc/init.d/udev:

  if [ -z $no_static_dev ]; then
mkdir -p /dev/.static/dev
chmod 700 /dev/.static/
mount -n --move /lib/udev/devices /dev/.static/dev
  fi

produces this ugliness when typing df:

...
tmpfs   515796 4515792   1% /dev/shm
df: `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied
tmpfs  314572824   3145704   1% /tmp
...

What can be done about that?

Thank you for your good work!
