I'd say it's a bug. Waiting for it to get officially fixed meant my
wife couldn't easily watch a dvd without starting to understand /dev
which I didn't think was fair to her. I'm not suggesting what I did
was 'the best way', etc.
Anyway, I suspect between my and Dave's posts some folks will be able
to make things work a bit better until an official solution shows up.
In my now nearly 10 years with Gentoo I'd never spent 5 minutes
looking at what udev provides. So many people knock it recently. I
thought it time to learn a little before it disappears.
Cheers,
Mar
