Hello,
Yesterday I decided to convert to DEVFS, compiled a kernel with `option
DEVFS' and added the fstab line necessary to mount it on /dev. Most
things work fine, but I get some subtle errors like permission denied on
chown()ing ptys, failure to add entry to /dev with errno 17 (maybe
double registration?), and some devices not appearing in /dev (I have to
edit rc.devfs so that it can make some symbolic links from /dev.bak
:-p). (Nothing fatal happens though; I can use the machine as before)
What is the current status of DEVFS? Is this still a `good feature to
have but oh well...'-sort of thing so it is not supported by many
drivers, or is some serious effort on track to round the sharp edges and
make it usable?
TIA,
Eugene
