Seems like a devfsd using the file monitoring hooks would work; you'd only update the persistent store if you were running devfsd. devfsd would read the store and init /dev with the contents. I think the only issue that would involve thinking would be whiteouts (and the actual devfsd code of course.) -- | Matthew N.
