The last time I installed Gentoo, devfsd was the standard device-fs daemon. This time, I had several problems: First, I didn’t get a console, because udev failed to create \/dev\/ttyX. Then, it did create \/dev\/md0 but didn’t bother about \/dev\/md1 where all my data is stored. So i had to browse around in \/dev and symlink the files myself. As a result of these experiences I’m back at devfsd, even if it’s considered obsolete. It may be obsolete, but it works. Why do we have to use dynamically generated \/dev dirs anyway? An old static mknod.sh or so would have done the same job as well as udev. Why do things have to be more complicated than necessary?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
