I have 1479 devices and directories in /dev after startup Hmmm, wasn't udev (and formerly devfs) meant to have only the devices needed? Is hotplug still an issue or is it started by bootmisc? If i plug in my USB stick (yes, I do have USB UHCI, EHCI, OHCI mass storage compiled into the kernel) I can't mount it. I remember some discussion about hotplug/coldplug and if coldplug makes sense at all. On the ~x86 installation based on 2005.0 there was no node in /dev for sd*. If I plugged in the stick sda and sda1 came up and I could mount sda1. My questions: Is the Gentoo UDEEV guide still valid for 2006.0? How do I get rid of all these unneeded device nodes in /dev? How do I ensure that devices plugged in while the system is up and running arise (Emerging hotplug and add it to the default runlevel, right?)?
