Hi, all. Version 16 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/kernel-patches.html

This is against 2.1.81. Highlights of this release:

- created <devfs_set_symlink_destination> function

- moved DEVFS_SUPER_MAGIC into header file

- added DEVFS_FL_HIDE flag

- created <devfs_get_maj_min>

- created <devfs_get_handle_from_inode>

- fixed bugs in searching by major&minor

- changed interface to <devfs_unregister>, <devfs_fill_file> and
<devfs_find_handle>

- fixed inode times when symlink created with symlink(2)

- change tty driver to do auto-creation of devfs entries
Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>

- fixed bug in genhd.c: whole disc (non-SCSI) was not registered to
devfs

- updated libc 5.4.43 patch for ttyname()

Regards,

Richard....
