All these kind of things should be taken care of in fabrica when it is developed. I think it should be possible to register a notification with an opened device that should notify the opener when the underlying medium (whatever it is) is not available anymore. You could have a look at the design document for fabrica/l4-hurd and comment on that if you see big mistakes or if important things are missing. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
