Hi! Arjan:
Why Redhat Linux do NOT support devfsd ? We are developing a diskless
environment, by using devfsd it will reduce the load of the server.
Could you please tell me ? For Debian, Mandrake ant other distributions,
devfs is ok with them. I know devfs disappeared since Redhat 7.3.
Why ?
Thanks.
