Well, the "state" will still be running in memory, as udev will be becoming a daemon soon, so that will not be a big problem. As for the pivot issue, I'm still trying to work that out... I'm thinking that udev will just create a ramfs partition for /dev and then after pivot root happens, just re-mount that partition on top of the new /dev whereby things just keep working. Haven't really tried that yet, as we still need some more kernel tweaks to get there... Any help in this area would be appreciated. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
