I don't think anyone's actually gone and generated phandles in /aliases, although it was suggested early on. The syntax is foo = < &bar >; to generate a phandle and foo = &bar; to generate a path. I was a bit worried about confusion between these forms, but at least Kumar and myself came up with this syntax independently, which suggests it's not too surprising to most people, and no-one had any other suggestions. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
