As much as I pride myself with never agreeing with Garrett, I'm having a hard time finding a reason not to in this particular case. :-) There are a couple of fine points still not resolved. There is >still< no way to generally specify a policy: "Make all disks foo.bar mode 0640" and such. The major/minor of the underlying nodes are of course of no significance, but wouldn't it be nice to get rid of all that blasted code entirely ? Why would we even care about the type of node apart from "Directory" or "Not Directory" ? Ie, we could mount devfs on a FS that doesn't support c/b devs at all (msdos, hfs ...) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
