I've done some searching on the web, but everything I've come across is either out of date and says to recompile the kernel, or else says that after 5.1 the devfs does it automatically. I don't think that's the case. I'm running 6.1 and I need more than the [pt]ty[p-sP-S] devices that will auto-clone in devfs. I've tried adding lines like the following to /etc/default/devfs.rules: add path 'ptyt*' unhide add path 'ttyt*' unhide But that doesn't do the trick. The syntax "unhide" implies to me that the [p-sP-S] nodes exist but but are hidden by the hide_all ruleset. What do I have to do to allow the creation of more ptys? Thanks, e.
