I think the only issue that : would involve thinking would be whiteouts (and the actual devfsd code of : course.) Yes. That's my thinking as well. I was also thinking of having devfsd do more than simpler persistance. I had plans, which I never tried to implement, of having it assume some of the roles of pccardd and usbd... Too bad I've lost the original start I made on devfsd. At least I can't find it on my home systems right now. I fear I either lost it in a disk crash, or when I left my last employer...
