Re: State of devfs in 2.6?

[Andrew Walrond]

My initial query has thrown up lots of interesting debate :)

I, like most people I suspect, love the concept of a complete auto-populated 
dev directory, and not having to MAKEDEV.

devfs provided this, but like most people who read LKML, I stopped using it 
when it's problems were discussed.

I really hope udev lives up to its promise, unlike devfs. Manually creating /
dev just annoys me for no apparent reason other than it's plain inelegance I 
suppose.
