if you already use udev as you stated say Y, then the not needed devfsd package is removed.

um, again please? you mean i should just say yes? but why is pacman -Syu insisting on installing udev from testing (i have testing enabled but not prioritized in pacman.conf). this arch install of mine started from 0.72 (gimmick) so it is using udev (from current) by default.

well i don'T know how your pacman.conf looks like, but if you already use a kernel >2.6 then devfsd is not needed at all on your system.
devfs died a long time ago for kernel 2.6 packages, it's only on install cd for 2.4 kernels
