Hi there. I'm newbie in Archlinux and I have another lame question.

Recently, I've found that Arch mounts tmpfs on /dev. And, as you may see, this makes big problem to some applications. Really? What type of problems? Because you will have much bigger

I see: "none on /dev type tmpfs" in the output of mount program.

This mount is not placed in /etc/fstab. So, I think this is done by some of init scripts. I've looked at the /etc/rc.d folder and grep "mount" `find`. But nothing interesting found.

I really don't want to mount tmpfs on /dev. How to don't do it?

What do you want to do? You seem to be looking for a solution to a problem that I'm not sure exists. -Dan

Thanks for patience.

What kind of problems? I don't know of any problems.

I'd like you to find any modern Linux distribution that doesn't do it this way. Good luck with that.

In short: You don't, unless you want to rewrite how Arch and its devices work.
