If devfsadmd is being run through SMF, it should be restarted if it dies unexpectedly. If devfsadmd isn't being run in this manner then it should (bug.) The proper answer here is that it should only exit if the service to which it belongs is disabled. So I think your question or scenario should be, in what cases will the service running devfsadmd want to be stopped and what should Solaris be doing when/if it enters this state? Another scenario - what happens if Solaris tries to reboot and it cannot start devfsadmd? Darren
