I have to say this: The number of people who completely and totally misread the simple instructions about upgrading udev is spectacular. The guides say clearly and unambiguously to modify the mount options for /dev And what did so many users at once go and do? Changed every line in fstab that had the three characters d-e-v in them as well. I dunno, sometimes I want to give up. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
