Oh, right, I had forgotten about devtmpfs. I personally don't like devtmpfs because it goes precisely against the concept of udev in the first place: it adds code in the kernel to handle things that could very well be done in userspace. The justification I have heard for devtmpfs is "You might want to have a dynamic writable /dev in RAM and a read-only /", which is no justification to me because I have been doing exactly that for years without devtmpfs. It only requires doing a bit of setup in process 1 before executing the real long-running init, a concept that's surprisingly hard to get through some skulls. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
