DEVFS in its current shape : doesn't work too well, and probably Coda wasn't yet converted to be : DEVFS-friendly. : : I think it should be clearly stated in LINT that DEVFS is BROKEN and : should not be used for now. : : If no-one objects, I'll mark it as such in LINT. 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. --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."
