I was also very sceptic, but now it seems to work the charm. Also seems like Greg have pretty much kept my udev rules to simulate near devfs /dev layout which sould make it easier. Also, nice feature to create rules like so: ---- $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-dm.rules KERNEL=3D"dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM=3D"/sbin/devmap_name %M %m", NAME=3D"mapper/%= k", SYMLINK=3D"%c" ---- gives you all sorts of flexibility (moving disks around is less painful, etc): --- $ ls /dev/isw0* -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 18 18:56 /dev/isw0 -> mapper/dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 18 18:56 /dev/isw0p1 -> mapper/dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 18 18:56 /dev/isw0p2 -> mapper/dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 18 18:56 /dev/isw0p3 -> mapper/dm-3 --- The only 'regression' as such, is that trying to open say /dev/nvidia0 do not load 'nvidia' if you had an alias in modprobe.conf ... I have an idea however to 'fix' that, but I haven't gotten to it yet, and it will require some prodding in kernel internals =3D) --=20 Martin Schlemmer Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop/System Team Developer Cape Town, South Africa --=-JEi+XgXK7Qlzle/cZr7K Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBA+w81qburzKaJYLYRAv3iAJ4gXSyVhohfDY49XnyW0S5GyAxWWwCfQ+Zn 41OFykUejQNqxscWkxT/tgI= =JS1x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-JEi+XgXK7Qlzle/cZr7K--
