I thought about devfs, too, but rpm -q devfs came up with nothing.
On the off chance, just now, I decided to "rpm -qa | grep devfs" and it
came up with devfsd-1.3.11-sgi.
I'm not showing any processes, though, with "devfs" in the name.
I guess I can rpm -e devfsd and see if that helps. I suppose devfsd was
installed when I did the RH7.1 + SGI installation.
