Hello, > After upgrade my base packages to the 1.1ELF stuff, I see a file /etc/psdevtab > which wasn't installed by any of the packages. What is this file? its a map between Minor/Major Device numbers and Device Names. This is needed for programs like ps which want to print the device names for given inodes. This table is created automatically, if you run "ps" (from the procps package in the base) the first time. This speeds up ps a big time and reduces the amount of 'stats' in the /dev/ directory on the following invokations of ps.

After upgrade my base packages to the 1.1ELF stuff, I see a file /etc/psdevtab which wasn't installed by any of the packages.

what's /etc/psdevtab?
I found this in my machine, but couldn't trace it to any package... It's also not in Contents for the stable/unstable tree, and a grep in /var/lib/dpkg doesn't show anything. Carlos
