Hi, all. Version 6 of my devfs patch is now available from: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/kernel-patches.html
This is against 2.1.79. Highlights of this release:
- Support for subdirectories
- Support for symbolic links (created by devfs_mk_symlink(), no support yet for creation via symlink(2))
- SCSI disc naming now cast in stone, with the format: /dev/sd/c0b1t2u3 whole disc on LUN=3, ID=2, bus=1, controller=0 /dev/sd/c0b1t2u3p4 4th partition on LUN=3, ID=2, bus=1, controller=0
- loop devices now appear in devfs
- tty devices, console, serial ports, etc. now appear in devfs Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>
- bugs with mounting devfs-only devices now fixed.
Enjoy!
Regards,
Richard....
