devfsd is a userspace program.


Requiring kernel support... also, there is a total of 0 UML users which use DevFS with devfsd. Everybody uses DevFS and changes device names, and this (I guess) because the packaged distros in most cases don't support by default DevFS (I've not yet seen a Mandrake image, so this should hold; Gentoo is an exception, however).


I run a mandrake 9.2 box with devfs. Devfs was supported OOTB. I regret the choice of devfs. It makes tracking the disk drive messages difficult. Example:

$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 ide/host4/bus1/target0/lun0/part1[1] ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1[0]
78148096 blocks [2/2] [UU]
When a drive dropps off a raid volume, I have a difficult time translating that into a /dev/hd...
