There certainly shouldn't be subdirectories for >pieces of one device. I agree with Bruce. I would have agreed with Rod, but the simple fact is that our /dev directory is getting very large and bloated, and this will only get worse. Perhaps /dev/disks/* and /dev/ttys/*, etc, might be a way to organize things (in other words, by device class). I prefer to not minimize the number of levels as much as possible, while still providing some organization. -DG
