Did you set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to "no" in /etc/conf.d/rc? If not, Gentoo wil= l=20 store a tarfile of devices at shutdown and restore them at startup. > My questions: > How do I get rid of all these unneeded device nodes in /dev? 1) Set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to "no". 2) rm /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 3) boot from a live CD, mount your root fs and remove everything=20 from /yourroot/dev except console, null and initctl Bye...
