Hello, Yesterday I decided to convert to DEVFS, compiled a kernel with `option DEVFS' and added the fstab line necessary to mount it on /dev. Most things work fine, but I get some subtle errors like permission denied on chown()ing ptys, failure to add entry to /dev with errno 17 (maybe double registration?), and some devices not appearing in /dev (I have to edit rc.devfs so that it can make some symbolic links from /dev.bak :-p). (Nothing fatal happens though; I can use the machine as before) What is the current status of DEVFS? Is this still a `good feature to have but oh well...'-sort of thing so it is not supported by many drivers, or is some serious effort on track to round the sharp edges and make it usable? TIA, Eugene -- Eugene M. Kim <ab@astralblue.com> "Is your music unpopular? Make it popular; make music which people like, or make people who like your music."
