+Now the udev daemon itself, does on startup:
+ - copy the content of /lib/udev/devices to /dev
+ - create the standard symlinks like /dev/std{in,out,err},
+ /dev/core, /dev/fd, ...
+ - use static node information provided by kernel modules
+ and creates these nodes to allow module on-demand loading
+ - possibly apply permissions to all ststic nodes from udev
+ rules which are annotated to match a static node
+
+The default mode for a device node is 0600 now to match the kernel
+created devtmpfs defaults. If GROUP= is specified and no MODE= is
+given the default will be 0660.
