Poul-Henning Kamp once stated: =Removing /dev/lpt0 doesn't make sense, it doesn't remove the driver, =it doesn't attach from the hardware, it merely removes the namesticker =from the mailbox. May be this should be the semantics of `rm' on the DEVFS? Removal of the driver, or telling it to stop driving a particular device? (If possible, otherwise, rm fails?) mknod (or, `touch'!!) can then be used to load the driver back (if possible).
