While I understand your point these two comments contradict each
other, or more accurately, the first was inaccurate in the sense that
someone needed to create your /dev entry, either udev or you, it
didn't matter. Once it was there your scanner worked, correct?
Again, I do understand the concern. Never having run systemd I have it
also. However the more I read the more tame the concerns seem to be.
They do, however, still exist...
