6.2. Preparing Virtual Kernel File Systems:
The recommended method of populating the /dev directory with devices is
to mount a virtual filesystem (such as tmpfs) on the /dev directory, and
allow the devices to be created dynamically on that virtual filesystem as
they are detected or accessed. This is generally done during the boot
process by Udev.
I think this could be understood wrong. Udev doesn't mount tmpfs on the
/dev directory.
This might be better:
The recommended method of populating the /dev directory with devices is
to mount a virtual filesystem (such as tmpfs) on the /dev directory, and
allow the devices to be created dynamically on that virtual filesystem as
they are detected or accessed. This is generally done during the boot
process by the bootscripts and Udev.
