Hi!

Is accessing the /compat/linux/dev directory (along with the
rest of /compat/linux) over nfs A Bad Thing(tm) in terms of
performance? My guess is the nodes made by mknod are just
references to hardware stuff, and then it doesn't matter much
if they're nfs mounted. My knowledge in the area of device
nodes is limited, though... Any suggestions, pro or against?
Does it matter?

Thanks
Palle
