(wips@usenix.org) So here goes... I'd like to request a slot to have a quick talk about what we're doing in FreeBSD on a devices filesystem..(DEVFS) this is an important piece in the jigsaw puzzle that is a more dynamically loadable modular kernel. As devices are found or reconfigured, the device files in devfs change to reflect what devices are available. looking exaclty like a dynamic /dev something similar can be seen in solaris, but this is a differnt implimentation.. Hopefully this is all the information you need ? I think their might be some other projects from FreeBSD that might be interested in puting up a 10 minute slot as well... +----------------------------------+ ______ _ __ | __--_|\ Julian Elischer | \ U \/ / On assignment | / \ julian@ref.tfs.com +------>x USA \ in a very strange | ( OZ ) 300 lakeside Dr. oakland CA. \___ ___ | country ! +- X_.---._/ USA+(510) 645-3137(wk) \_/ \\ v Presently on holiday in Australia but still getting email..
