Description

On latest master major numbers for devices are properly setup, but only after
the kernel booted and the root device keeps it's major number at "0". Due to
this "/" is mounter read-only (as should be) but cannot be remounted
read-write when starting up due to major number mismatch:
cannot update mount, udev does not match 00000000:00020040 vs 00000016:00020040

Please do not CC me, since I already receive everything from these MLs.

Regards,

Is root UFS or hammer? I saw the r/o mount on my UFS VM too but didn't
make the connection, while my HAMMER file server doesn't seem to have
this issue.

Root is UFS on this machines (almost all mount points are UFS).
I wonder why hammer would work, hm.
