[gentoo-user] devpts question

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi all, I am very curious about something, when I boot the system I
can see the message mounting /dev/pts, well I looked at /etc/conf.d/rc
and didn't find anything about devfs on my kernel options in
filesystem->pseudofilesystem the devpts option is disbled.... did I
miss a spot or am I going crazy ?

I will be very glad if someone can help, Allan.

/dev/pts are the pusedo terminals, I think.  They are used to run jobs in
virtual space.  Not really associated with devfs specifcally.

They are under - 

 Symbol: UNIX98_PTYS [=y]  
   Prompt: Unix98 PTY support 
     Defined at drivers/char/Kconfig:425    
     Depends on: EMBEDDED  
     Location:     
       -> Device Drivers  
         -> Character devices

These pseudoterminals are mounted by the self-thinking rc script.

See 'grep dev/pts /sbin/rc'.
