:Hi Matt, :I know this has been discussed before, but what about dynamic /dev ? : :Petr
Yah, it's actually doable with the infrastructure we have now, but a dynamic /dev doesn't replace GPT or a new 64 bit disklabel. I have to do all this work anyway, dynamic or static. Since I was able to expand the partition and slice bits in the minor number we are no longer hitting up against any significant limitations in the current scheme. A dynamic /dev (well, lets say /devfs) would be a great project for an interested party to do but it isn't in the critical path so I'd rather not spend the time doing it myself. -Matt
