It seems that we have a bit of misunderstanding here. I just don't want to go back to /dev being actually placed on real, on-disk fs. I won't mind if naming scheme will change as long as device names start with '/dev/' and appear there (semi-)automagically. That's what I call devfs. If udev can do this, I am all for that. -- vda
