Maybe this is a crazy idea or maybe we already have something like this. Is it possible to get notifications about changes in devfs - appearance and disappearance of devices (in devfs sense of the word)? devctl currently notifies about real (hardware) devices handled by device drivers and some notifications about hardware/driver events. But what if I want to automatically run some action if /dev/ufs/magic-label appears? Or if I want to monitor appearance and disappearance of ad* and da* devices (without having to monitor low level drivers like umass)? -- Andriy Gapon
