In the past, we (NetBSD folks) have talked about a devfs. One issue that=20 has come up (I'll be honest, I've raised it a lot) is a desire to retain=20 permission changes across boots, and to tie devices (when possible) to a=20 device-specific attribute rather than a probe order. Does FreeBSD's devfs support locators and persistent information? Are=20 there plans to support something like that, if not?
