Howdy, New emerge failure. It seems static-dev does not like udev,devfs or tmpfs for some mount point, not sure which that is tho.

I don't see anything odd in my fstab so I would assume it is talking about something that is a default. I do have portage's work directory on tmpfs. Is that what it is complaining about? Surely not since it only builds there but intsalls to /. Thoughts?? Dale :-) :-)
