The check looks right but doesn't work: # grep '\</dev\>.*devfs' /proc/mounts # grep '/dev\>.*devfs' /proc/mounts # grep '\</dev.*devfs' /proc/mounts # grep '/dev.*devfs' /proc/mounts none /dev devfs rw 0 0 # grep ' /dev .*devfs' /proc/mounts none /dev devfs rw 0 0 # grep '/dev.*devfs' /proc/mounts | hexdump %07.7_ 6f6e 656e 2f20 6564 2076 6564 6676 2073 %07.7_ 7772 3020 3020 000a %07.7_ You might want to check for " " instead of word start and end to circumvent the problem. MfG Goswin PS: You might also check for existing devices when using devfs. I don't have a /dev/tts/3, so theres no point giving me the choise. Altough care must be taken to handle not yet loaded modules. I might fill this as wishlist, since has nothing to do with this bug.
