Udev isn't only for USB mounts.
Udev is a userland /dev manager. It is a daemon that creates special
files in /dev to support the devices on your system. You start out with
a *very* minimal set of special files in /dev and udev adds/removes
additional special files as devices are discovered/removed. It has
hooks so you can do more than just create/destroy the /dev special
files.
