what is going on with udev?

[Jason Dravet]

Hello everyone,

I have been pulling my hair out for the last several days trying to figure 
out why my usb thumb drive is not being mounted.  It was /dev/sdc1 (I have 
two scsi hard drives).  I read all of the usb related threads in the 
fedora-test-list but none quite matched my problem.  Long story short my 
thumb drive is now at /dev/uba1.  Why did this change?  Since udev-075-2 the 
starting udev process takes over 1 minute, before it took about 10 seconds.  
Some other people where also inquering about the slowest of udev.

A quick look in /dev shows I have 64 tty nodes (tty0 - tty63) and 32 ttyS 
nodes (ttyS0 - ttyS31).  I have two serial ports, both of which are disabled 
in the bios.  Why are these nodes showing up?  These extra nodes have been 
around since FC4 so udev-075-2 is not the blame for this.

Thanks,
Jason
