Well, at this point I'm out of ideas. Whatever it is, it's something non-obvious.

All I can suggest is a workaround: comment out the mount in rc.udev (but not the mkdir) and leave it for the 'mount -a' in rc.S to do the mounting.

Thanks GazL!

Code:
bash-4.3$ ls -la /dev/ | grep shm
drwxrwxrwt   2 root   root         120 Feb 19 00:24 shm

You're welcome. Just keep in mind that it is a workaround. The mount in rc.udev really shouldn't be behaving the way you see.

I had the same problem with /dev/shm as Andersen wrote: permissions, strange date (my version: Slackware -current, kernel 4.4.3). In my case the problem disappeared after removing the obsolete udev package. I forgot to do it during upgrade. Maybe this could explain also the case mentioned earlier in this thread by Pat.

Thanks lecho. Cured my problem as well. I really must read the ChangeLog more carefully :-(

FWIW, I don't remember seeing anything about removing udev, but maybe I just didn't know where to look? Manually removing udev fixed quite a few problems I was experiencing. Chrome works, Steam works, and I'm about to have a go at the current nVidia driver because up to now I'm still using 352.63 because 361.28 was causing weird problems.

For Slackware current you have to look in the official ChangeLog, see the entry from 20th November 2015
Once it becomes stable you should find this info in the CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT on the DVD or in the root folder of any Slackware mirror.

Well, because in reality udev wasn't removed per se, it was replaced with eudev.
Code:
Fri Nov 20 05:25:18 UTC 2015
(...)
a/eudev-3.1.5-x86_64-3.txz: Added.
       This replaces the udev package.
(...)
a/udev-182-x86_64-7.txz: Removed.
       This is replaced by the eudev and libgudev packages.

Best regards,
Andrzej Telszewski
