I was unaware of the fact that a computer can plod along without EITHER devfs or udev. I thought they had to have either of the two.
So how does one know there's uses ?
I found this:
"How do you know if you have devfs or udev? devfs /dev/.devfsd exists udev < 1000 files in /dev neither > 1000 files in /dev (created at installation by MAKEDEV)"
So if you dont have /dev/.devfsd then do this.
ls /dev/ | wc -w
My personal computer, which I know runs udev returned 699, while my Sarge boxes both returned a number over 1,000
