Actually example is in devfsd.conf manual but I just realised it can be
used for both old and new compat links.

No they do not in this case. When you insert media there is no
notification so you must force kernel to reread partition table
externally.

Attached patch is against current Mandrake devfsd.conf. It works just
fine here for SCSI; I'd appreciate anybody testing it for IDE. It is
great because it means we can continue to use compatibility names by
default without endless "hey, why it says no such device!"
blockdev is garanteed to exist on Mandrake that is currently my concern
:-)
many thanks for idea (yes, sometimes you must really read TFM).
