When I run uml I don't have devfs by default (I use Debian binaries of uml).
How can I explicitely activate it ?

It is an option that must be compiled in the linux executable. You can check if it it compiled in yours with


./linux --showconfig | grep DEVFS
and look for CONFIG_DEV_FS=y

If not, you may have to use another binary or compile your own, the devfs option is to be found under the "File System" menu.

The kernel image linux-2.4.19-5 from the uml kernel page has this option set.


$ linux --showconfig | grep DEVFS
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set
# CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set

So it seems the devfs is builtin, but it doesn't automatically mount.
Are there any command line options to mount it ? (/etc/fstab doesn't do it)

you have to give the option to the command line:

./linux ubd0=Debian devfs=mount
