Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up 2.6 system from scratch

Devfs will keep the old names.  My /etc/devfsd.conf file has a setting 
that tells it to keep old names and it was on by default.

Cool.  Does it do anything for you that devfs doesn't?

 

I haven't noticed any difference other that it doesn't change (on my 
system anyway) a lot of the names of devices like devfs did. If I want 
for example /dev/hda3, I don't have to go looking for it under 
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3. I just look for /dev/hda3. It 
makes it a lot easier for me.
