I too have noticed some oddities with /dev permissions, similar to what
you have expirianced. When I moved to an XFS /, my user did not have access to
/dev/mixer so I chmod'd it and when I rebooted it didn't seem to stick. I
wasn't going to post this until I could pin it down to something specific, but
I had no time to do so and as you posted about it I thought I'd let you know
you are not alone :)
I am running 2.4.0 now, but this happened since um....2.4test13pre3
(when I moved to an XFS /)
Just thought that might help :)
