Hi,
I've recently totally reinstalled my system from scratch after losing my /home partition. I'm running kernel 2.4.14 with a XFS patch and xfs partitions (except /boot). I've also compile devfs support in the kernel and installed devfsd. Now, I've red the documentation on the kernel-source and the HOWTO, but something isn't right here. devfs apparently is working because during boot I see some messages that refer to the HD as /dev/disks/lots-of-letters-and-numbers). I also receive messages while connecting my USB scanner - don't know if that's devfs though. The thing is, my /dev is the same as always. It doesn't have /dev/ide or any of the devsf directories. Its the same splattered 3232323 files as always. If I do $devfsd /dev it complains that there is no .devfsd in the directory... I have not touch fstab or anything, I simply compiled into the kernel and installed devfsd. Is there some extra steps that I need to make ? Pointers to the right documentation and general advice are always welcome :) thanks, fsm -- Frederico S.
