I think the reason I'm not understanding even asking the question is that portage hasn't _told_ you that you need to use it. I may well be wrong but aren't you a stable user? Or are you running bleeding edge? It's likely to be 6 months and probably far longer before there's any push from portage to tell us switch to eudev, if ever. I guess the other question that's lurking here for me is why do you have /usr on a separate partition? What's the usage model that drives a person to do that? The most I've ever done is move /usr/portage and /usr/src to other places. My /usr never has all that much in it beyond those two directories, along with maybe /usr/share. Would it not be easier for you in the long run to move /usr back to / and not have to deal with this question at all? Just my 2 questioning cents, Mark
