| |
Forgot to mention: - the floppy driver was converted as an example - adds a new file "dev" to each driverfs entry - output is in the following format MAJOR,MINOR PATH - one line per each devfs entry during output - to test try: #cat (driverfs)/root/sys/03?0/dev assuming you have a floppy drive - Applies cleanly to 2.5.29 as well - If there's a demand for it I'll add the ability to unregister individual devfs entries from driverfs Cheers, ambx1
