Moving this to /usr creates a cyclic issue in that you then need /usr to be mounted before devd can start and devd's /etc/rc.d file says: # PROVIDE: devd # REQUIRE: NETWORKING # BEFORE: mountcritremote # KEYWORD: nojail In the diskless and nfs shared /usr worlds devd wants to start before /usr is mounted. > I'm agnostic about the value of moving them. ?Users can configure local > rules by modifying the existing devd.conf and files in devd/ and > dealing with mergemaster on updates, or by adding their own new files > in devd/. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
