Hi, all. Version 24 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/kernel-patches.html

I like to put in a word of thanks to all those people who have been
testing this: keep up the good work!

This is against 2.1.91. Highlights of this release:

- Switched from CONFIG_KERNELD to CONFIG_KMOD: module autoloading
should now work again

- Hide entries which are manually unlinked

- Always invalidate devfs dentry cache when registering entries

- Support removal of devfs directories via rmdir(2)

- Ensure directories created by <devfs_mk_dir> are visible

- Default no access for "other" for floppy device

Regards,

Richard....
