Solaris, especially Solaris 10 is relying more and more on pseudo filesystems. # uname -srpi SunOS 5.10 sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210 # mount | grep '^/devices' /devices on /devices read/write/setuid/devices/dev=47c0000 on Thu Nov 2 16:14:25 2006 Everything in /dev is just a symlink to /devices. -- Ruben
