• LUKS on LVM without eudev, mdev, or any device manager
  4 projects | /r/kisslinux | 29 Jun 2021

  As illiliti said, not using a device manager creates a lot of obstacles. There's a reason they were created. If your needs are simple (your USB devices rarely come unplugged, you only have one disk, etc.), you don't really need a device manager. I'm not *really* using one (I'm fiddling with `smdev` right now, and didn't use any device manager for several months last year). Setting /dev permissions is one of the more valuable parts a device manager provides. You might want to look at mdev like a boss or the Gentoo article for some information. If you don't understand what those articles are talking about, you have a fair bit more reading to do. I currently set my permissions on specific devices via a file in /etc/rc.d, but because /dev is populated in a volatile way some permissions aren't set while others are.
