But, by the way, there is a (slightly) more valid reason to want to create a directory under /dev, I recently had it. For one non-standard third-party application I needed to create a link to existing device in a certain subdirectory. I.e.:
/dev/subdirX/device -> /dev/deviceX
And I couldn't do that.
Or maybe link operation for devfs just needs to be taught about creating subdirectories on demand. I don't know.

you can create links with devfs - man devfs.conf
[...]
link    This action creates a symbolic link named arg that points to
             devname, the name of the device created by devfs(5).
[..]

I do know that.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough: "/dev/deviceX" was existing device node and I needed to create "/dev/subdirX/device" link, where directory "/dev/subdirX" didn't exist.
Any help on this?
