At least one of the BSD's (I think it's FreeBSD) has a DevFS... I can't realise what you possible could have against devfs. Solaris has it, AIX has it, Irix has it, if I'm not all wrong MacOS X & Darwin has it. It's natural, it's not an abomination. I'd like to hear you come up with a good solution that doesn't use DevFS and yet handles 40-50 hot-pluggable devices (USB/Firewire/Fibrechannel etc.) /David Weinehall _ _ // David Weinehall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /> Northern lights wander \\ // Project MCA Linux hacker // Dance across the winter sky // \> http://www.acc.umu.se/~tao/ </ Full colour fire </
