I've been trying to use devd for a number of things, but have not gotten far. One issue is when I attach an ATAPI disk: attach 100 { device-name "acd0"; action "/bin/chmod 666 /dev/$device-name"; } I have similar statements for my second hard drive (ad2s2). By using the -D option I see the device attach, but the chmod returns an error indicating that /dev/acd0 does not exist. I get similar results for other devices. Is there a delay between the attach event and the creation of the /dev entry? Am I missing something here? Maybe I should use devfs for this. -- R.
