udev and EVMS
Who is at fault? Both udev and EVMS are creating nodes in /dev.

I think dm manages its nodes by itself.
hmm, i'm using evms and yes, it creates its nodes by itself. but i get 'dm-[0-9]' files in udev, too
one for every logical volume (but without the correct name, just the number)
so perhaps one would have to suppress creation of these nodes?

I don't see why there should be a problem with EVMS and udev operating at the same time (although I haven't actually tried udev yet).
EVMS has to be able to create it's device nodes in /dev/evms. The kernel has no knowledge of the names that EVMS gives to its volumes (which are the names given to the EVMS device nodes). Device-Mapper only creates dm-? entries, which doesn't give the user any clue as to which device-node corresponds to which volume.
EVMS only ever creates nodes in /dev/evms/, and the kernel never creates a name for a block-device that would clash with these. So I'm curious why there would be a conflict between EVMS and udev.
