Should we turn that order around and > remove the devfs notion from the raw tool and let udev create a > dev/raw/rawctl node? Yeah. Fixed, committed and pushed. $ strace -e open ./raw open("/dev/raw/rawctl", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/rawctl", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I have also removed the #ifdef OLD_RAW_DEVS (/dev/raw) junk. BTW, it would be nice to refresh devices.txt according to your latest changes in udev. Karel -- Karel Zak
