No, it's not. Greg-KH (also a Gentoo developer, BTW) has posted patches to completely remove the devfs code for every kernel for the last few releases (starting with 2.6.11, I think). It _is_ going away, and it is going away very soon. David, udev works, and it works well. If you have problems migrating, post here and we will help you. But whining about devfs going away will fall on deaf ears. That horse died a very long time ago. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
