You mean in the case that you're using LVM or something else devmapper
backed? Or always unless you're using initramfs? When I started using
an initramfs, I had to change the udev script to check whether /dev
was mounted already and if the static devices already existed, but
that was it. But I can't see any issues going the other way for a
regular partition as root.
