Currently run Slackware current, Gentoo Jackass 2006.2 and Arch.
All are on Reiser4 partitions with 2.6.17.13 R4-patched vanilla kernels. I do not use initrd or initcpio to assist in the boot process.
In Slackware and Gentoo the /dev folder is populated at startup with my devices, size being reported varies from 2640 (gentoo) to 3280 (slackware).
In Arch reported size is zero. Udev daemon is starting fine. No problems with any device I can see or system operation. I have uninstalled and reinstalled udev 100-1, without any change.
Just curious whether this behavior is normal?!
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks,

Size of what?

brain0,
For instance, in /dev/udev/db, it's reported size in Slackware is 2240. It contains various block@hda@hda1,2,3,entries with sizes ranging from 200-450.
/dev/vc size is 1320. It contains entries that look like nodes with the sizes such as 4, 0 ; 4, 2, etc.. such as those made by mknod
As I posted earlier, no problems, just haven't seen that with the Slackware or Gentoo. All three use the newer udev 96 or > with the newest style daemon, so I would think all would populate the /dev folder similarly.
