I think you are talking about a script that handles a more "dynamic" database to force renames/softlinks for devices keeping names identical? I haven't played with mdev yet, but isn't that already in mdev? Or does mdev require it to be set manually?

No need for /var in the same partition as /. Wrong, /etc/init.d/alsasound is a fix for that. Udev should handle the situation where filesystems are not available yet and keep those in a retry-queue for when all filesystems are available. > You guys keep speculating.
