  Hi, all. Version 99.12 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html
The devfs FAQ is also available here.
This work has been sponsored by SGI.

Patch directly available from:
ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/kernel-patches/v2.2/devfs-patch-current.gz

NOTE: the devfs-patch-v99.x patches are maintenance patches for the
2.2.x production kernels. Devfs development is done against recent
development kernels. Occasionally, the latest devfs patch for the
development kernels may be backported to 2.2.x series, but this
happens rarely.

This is against 2.2.15. Highlights of this release:

- Ported devfs-patch-v99.11 to kernel 2.2.15

- Moved joystick devices to /dev/joysticks

- Set inode->i_size to correct size for symlinks

- Removed Documentation/filesystems/devfs/mk-devlinks

- Don't create missing directories in <devfs_find_handle>

- Updated sample modules.conf

- Fixed bug in drivers/block/ide-probe.c when secondary but no primary

- Updated Documentation/filesystems/devfs/README

                                Regards,

                                        Richard....
