If you wish to learn more about how UNIX operating systems work, there are a few pages that about what devfs does and means.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs&sektion=5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_file A very short summary is that UNIX systems use multiple mount points in the OS file systems (where Windows usually only uses one [the C drive]). Second, all devices in UNIX are accessed by using a file name. In the past, these were actual files stored in a directory named /dev. Given the explosion of devices in the past 10-15 years, the actual files have been abstracted to a virtual filesystem, usually known as devfs. It looks and works like a filesystem, but is not a "real" filesystem in that you can't create actual files in the directory.
