You want it simple? Tha'ts fine, it is possible. It's just that it will not solve the general problem, just a very specific subset of it. Just as mdev is doing; Walt just posted an email explaining that if you use GNOME, KDE, XFCE, or LVM2, mdev is not for you.
Very interesting thread guys, and thanks for keeping it relatively civil despite the passion behind the objections being raised...
I just wanted to point out one thing (and ask a question about it) to anyone who argues that servers don't need this - if LVM2 really does eliminate the possibility of using mdev for fundamental reasons (as opposed to arbitrary decisions), that rules out a *lot* of server installations.
So, that is my question... what is it about LVM2 that *requires* udev? Or asked another way - Why is LVM2 incapable od using mdev?
