I see there is something that obviously I had not understood for a long time,
so....
Aren't symlinks the responsibility of the devfsd daemon? I mean, that's the
whole point in calling them *compatibility* symlinks isn't it? I mean... one
can run his system with no problems even without running devfsd, they only have
to mount /dev, but they would then have to say farewell to all the nice
features devfsd provides - compatibility symlinks, on-demand module loading
etc. etc. A system with mounted /dev and NOT having devfsd running, has no
symlinks in /dev, does it? Short of stdin, stdout etc I guess.
Is this something I am completely confused about? I figured a long time ago,
that when I am the only one with a different opinion, it is usually so, because
I am wrong. But, please, explain.
