[gentoo-dev] Several questions the second

[Marius Brügemann]

I've got several questions a second time: ;)

1) How can I deactivate devfs? Recompile the kernel without devfs.... and 
than....???

Oups... that was only one question... Hmmm.... The next will follow!! ;)

Because I don't know what they are and I can't handle them. Normal devs is 
what I want and I don't need more.

If you're using 1.0_rc5, do a:

# rc-update del devfsd

Then, when you reboot, devfs will be disabled, as long as you didn't configure
you kernel to automatically mount it to /dev on boot.

  besides the "I don't like stuff I don't really need", devfs has
  race-conditions. even Gooch has said so on l-k. his comments where
  down the line of saying that he wouldn't run it on a production
  system with many users, because of these race conditions.

  this was 4-5-6 months ago or something like that. I personally run
  devfs in private, but I don't use devfs on any box I admin anywhere
  else. IMVHO it falls into the "nice to have, but not worth the
  potential risk"-category.
