Once we have an extensible facility for mount options, you will be able to say: mount -t devfs devfs /home/jail/dev ( cd /home/jail/dev ; rm $devices_i_dont_want_in_my_jails ) mount -u -o nonewdev /home/jail/dev To solve that problem. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
