The idea that devfs hardwires anything seems to be very popular. It is also completely wrong. You can use the userspace devfsd to transform the names however you like. For example, add these two lines to /etc/devfs/devfsd.conf, and you'll get the correct[1] spelling. REGISTER ^discs CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname disks REGISTER ^discs/disc([0-9]*) CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ../$devname discs/disk\1 I'm sure there's a way to get rid of the original spelling, too, if you really want. [1] :)
