Really, don't bother too much with /dev, it is much better to have extra crap in there than anything missing, and they usually only eat up some inodes. This is especially true for /dev/.static (the boot-time /dev). If you feel udev is adding too much clutter, *disable the devices in the kernel*. Reduce the number of supported tty in the kernel. Remove every crap you don't need. You'll notice udev will follow suit. > Why do people jump into threads without understanding the context? In this case, he is correct. Messing with /dev/.static is not a terribly good idea. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
