Could we move to devfs for Bering? Are there any significant disadvantages?
As advantages, I see: - clean /dev - doesn't need the script with hundred of mknod loops - supports more exotic hardware without changes to the script that creates /dev - easier search for packages: now linuxrc looks in /dev/fd0, /dev/hda1 etc... with devfs, it could look in /dev/discs/disc0 and find the HD, regardless whether it is a SCSI RAID HD or a Compact Flash Some info about devfs: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html Comments? - Alex ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
