That would be udev. It has been around long before systemd, and you must have missed the huge flamewar when they renamed it to systemd-udevd. Maybe we'll see "java" renamed to "java-by-oracle-with-ask-toolbar" next. :) If you ever migrate to systemd you really just need to set USE=systemd and install systemd. Portage will swap out your udev in the process, though nothing there will really change as systemd and udev install the same udev components. There is a guide for installing systemd that you should follow which gets into all the details. Rich
