None of them implement cloning devices. If you (or a group of people) seriously want to work on DEVFS, send me an email and I will coordinate and try to make sure we get this done *right* so that we cover all the issues we need to cover with devfs (root-mount, jail, cloning etc etc) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
