I've never had a problem with DEVFS yet. Granted, it be nicer if it did
more than it currently does, but it's not bad, and I wouldn't list is as
broken.
Anyway, the reason I tried the DEVFS/CODA combo is because I noticed
that in the latest coda code updates had changes for DEVFS support
(unless I read the code incorrectly). I figured I'd take a shot at
compiling it.
Like I said, I thought someone would like to know.
