Hello. I have written a device driver which creates dev entries in a sub-directory of /dev, e.g.: /dev/mydev/mydev0a /dev/mydev/mydev0b /dev/mydev/mydev0c ... I want to alias mydev0a to mydev0. With make_dev_alias (pdev, "mydev/mydev0") I see an incorrect symlink: /dev/mydev/mydev0 -> mydev/mydev0a Calling make_dev_alias (pdev, "mydev0") works: /dev/mydev0 -> mydev/mydev0a But this is not what I want. Any way to get this /dev/mydev/mydev0 -> mydev0a ? In other words: Is the behaviour I see a bug or a feature? Thank you, Norbert Koch
