Oops, that was wrong because of the way our initscripts handle /dev.

Anyway, I think I know all pitfalls of VPSVille-based VPS,
so I can use it as a playground.
Will definitely use some more advanced (and less cheap)
hosting in the future.
Linode, SliceHost and VPS.net both look as good candidates.
(VPS.net does not have Arch template,
but is possible to create custom template once installed).
