There are two options here. One is to make /dev/.static/ readable by
all users, to avoid the permission denied error from df. The other is
to remove /dev/.static/dev from /etc/mtab. The latter will remove the
error message from df while creating a new error message from umount
during shutdown when all file systems are umounted.
I'm not quite sure what is best. If I got it right, you maintain
udev. What is your opinion on this. Why is /dev/.static/ unaccesable
for non-root users?
