The devices directory is "/lib/udev/devices". udev seems to be mostly working AFAICT. When I plug/unplug USB or firewire, I can see events being processed with udevadm monitor. There is no shm or pts directory shown in /proc/devices. Should there be? There is also lots of information in the /run directory tree. Fred
