| 4 | Description: | ||
| 5 | devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable | ||
| 6 | races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is | ||
| 7 | against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev. | ||

| 9 | along with the the assorted devfs function calls throughout the | ||
