Hello everyone,
I was busy for a few days and had delivary to my account off for the mailing
lists. Is there anything very major happenning on the list?
I am using Mandrake 9.0 and something called DevFS starts everytime I boot up
my PC. It takes approx 30 seconds of time during bootup. I realized that the
following in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit causes it to run.
# Try to get devfsd
if [ -c /dev/.devfsd ]; then
if [ -x /sbin/devfsd ]; then
action "Running DevFs daemon" devfsd /dev
else
if ! grep -q "nodevfsd" /proc/cmdline;then
# devfs is used but devfsd isn't installed
quiet off
gprintf " #### your system is currently using devfs but devfsd isn't
availlable"
gprintf " #### you should disable devfs (add 'devfs=nomount' to the
paramaters"
gprintf " #### that your bootloader gives to the kernel"
# Let devfs being tested, but disable it on /dev
action " Disabling devfs (was mounted on /dev)" umount /dev
fi
fi
fi
Can I disable it, I do not understand what it is. There is no man or any
other info for it.
Thanks in advance.
Bye.
