    For one, I am of the camp that believes devfs is unfixable.

    For two, where driverfs is mounted is irrelevant: /driverfs, /sys,
    /proc/bus are all valid places.

    Besides, who cares what's in /? You have /home, which is all that really
    matters, no?

    So don't give them root access. Or, explain to them that they're magic,
    like the pagefile.sys file. :)
