| 747 | help | ||
| 748 | This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which | ||
| 749 | provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found | ||
| 750 | in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number | ||
| 751 | allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then | ||
| 752 | appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does | ||
| 753 | not have to create character and block special device files in the | ||
| 754 | /dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore. | ||
| 755 | |||
| 756 | This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read | ||
| 757 | the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially | ||
| 758 | the file README there. | ||
| 759 | |||
| 760 | Note that devfs no longer manages /dev/pts! If you are using UNIX98 | ||
| 761 | ptys, you will also need to mount the /dev/pts filesystem (devpts). | ||
| 762 | |||
| 763 | Note that devfs has been obsoleted by udev, | ||
| 764 | <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/>. | ||
| 765 | It has been stripped down to a bare minimum and is only provided for | ||
| 766 | legacy installations that use its naming scheme which is | ||
| 767 | unfortunately different from the names normal Linux installations | ||
| 768 | use. | ||

| 775 | help | ||
| 776 | This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting | ||
| 777 | this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev | ||
| 778 | when the system is booted, before the init thread is started. | ||
| 779 | You can override this with the "devfs=nomount" boot option. | ||

| 787 | If you say Y here, then the /dev file system code will generate | ||
