/dev/dvd missing?

Hi all,
I am  not shure if this is a right place for a post so be free to move it.

This morning I wanted to rip one dvd. I use acidrip for that. I had put dvd in reader, fired up acidrip and when I pressed "Load dvd" as I usually do I got error message something like no device or dvd. Acidrip was set to read from /dev/dvd and it was woking before.
Than I checked dvd and it is mounted in /media/dvdname.
When I looked at /dev/ there was no dvd there. I dont know much about /dev and its content. Did something changed recently in /dev/ ? Is dvd renamed under something else?

thanx


edit: Ok, it looks like there is no more some symlinks (dvd) created by udev.

I am still confused what to do.

This is due to the latest update to udev. You can check the post-installation message in your /var/log/pacman.log

Also, take a look here:
