mdev is fine for a server. It is lacking a few features w/r udev:
1) It doesn't build /dev/disk/[by-id | by-label | by-partuuid |
by-path | by-uuid]
I tried to add this feature by the mean an mdev-called script ~
a year ago in a Busybox OS, and succeeded easily with by-label and
by-uuid. I don't know the usage of the others anyway.
2) It doesn't come with a library for applications to retrieve
information about the devices. This affects primarily the X11
configuration, which means you will need to provide some Xorg.conf file,
like in the old times. I don't know if its affects also other
subsystems, like audio.
