After a crash all of the device nodes in /udev are permamently in /udev. starting/stopping udev won't clean them up. I can clean up manually with rm -rf /udev but shouldn't this happen automatically? I though udev was a virtual file system, why do the nodes endup on disk anyway? At least I think they are on disk, I stopped udev and they are still there. ==Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find out what made the Top Yahoo!
