Right. devfs was disabled & ripped out of the kernel some months ago. udev is (from user pov) it's successor. The main difference between devfs and udev is, that the former worked from kernel, where the later runs in userspace and parse sysfs to get it's informations. more info: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev_vs_devfs Olaf _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
