I've gone through the mailing list archives (-questions, -stable, -current and -fs) searching for information on devfs. I've got it (I think anyways) running, but it does not appear to exihibit behavior I read in the archived posts. kernel (relevant info): options DEVFS I then went to the manpage for devfs and read what it had to say, had a fstab entry, which I added. I later read this was unncessary and removed it (but still got same results) mount (relevant info): devfs on dummy_mount (devfs, local) devfs on /devs (devfs, local) When I removed the fstab entry (as indicated by the archived posts) only the dummy_mount entry remains. My original /dev (traditional?) remains in both cases (whether devfs is delcared in /etc/fstab or not) For the /etc/fstab entry of devfs, I ofcourse created /devs I then went and read /usr/src/sys/miscfs/devfs/README for any further clue as to what might be going on but learned nothing beyond what I already see. It's my understanding that enabling DEVFS will mount it to /dev and create the necessary devices (and then using /etc/rc.devfs, once can create the appropiate symlinks) yet it doesn't. Am I missing something? - Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
