|
|
|
- This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which
|
|
|
- provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found
|
|
|
- in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number
|
|
|
- allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
|
|
|
- appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
|
|
|
- not have to create character and block special device files in the
|
|
|
- /dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read
|
|
|
- the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially
|
|
|
- the file README there.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Note that devfs no longer manages /dev/pts! If you are using UNIX98
|
|
|
- ptys, you will also need to mount the /dev/pts filesystem (devpts).
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Note that devfs has been obsoleted by udev,
|
|
|
- <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/>.
|
|
|
- It has been stripped down to a bare minimum and is only provided for
|
|
|
- legacy installations that use its naming scheme which is
|
|
|
- unfortunately different from the names normal Linux installations
|
|
|
- use.

- This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting
|
|
|
- this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev
|
|
|
- when the system is booted, before the init thread is started.
