There's not much to wonder about here, the basic idea of devfs is a good one which is why udev was written. The problems expressed on lkml about devfs were with that specifically implementation, if a better implementation had been merged originally udev might have never been created. I really doubt FreeBSD took the Linux devfs code and integrated it with their kernel, so the fact that FreeBSD is using a devfs now simply means they like the idea of a dynamic /dev as well. > > > > Jan Engelhardt Jim. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
