Exactly as it says, it used to be part of devfs as well, but was removed as there was code doing the exact same thing as a configurable option. Nobody wants redundant code, so the devfs stuff was stripped out as it's generally better to have an option. Even if you pretty much always want it on :) Thanks a lot, that was it.

[gentoo-user] Permissions

I tried to change permissions on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 *and* also to make a group for /mnt/cdrom, but nothing works! any idea? 2/ Also I tried crontab -e, and it was a root permission (I did not investigate more), but cannot users have their own crontab (I used to have that with debian btw)?

You have to add users into your /etc/fstab line for the cdrom.

Re: [gentoo-user] devfs
Hello all, I am happy to find this thread because I have a strange problem: This morning I recompiled my kernel (I used stage3 default), and kept the old one in /boot in case my setup didnt work. When I rebooted I had an error message telling me that devfs was missing and then I rebooted in the old kernel and tried to reconfigure. But using either make config or make menuconfig, I cant find the options about devfs!! Supposedly they should be in file system, after the proc file system support. And when I quit make menuconfig and check for DEVFS in .config, I get: # CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set # CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set How can force these options to appear in make menuconfig?

Make the needed partitions, mount them, before you chroot into the directory-tree (like /mnt/gentoo /mnt/gentoo/usr /mnt/gentoo/var etc) While it compiles, you can easily edit fstab, and when your box reboots, everything is fine. I have: /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda5 / /dev/hda6 /tmp /dev/hdb1 /var /dev/hdb3 /home /dev/hdg1 swap /dev/hdg3 /usr/portage /dev/hdb2 /mnt/capture (for capturing from my bt848 based card) /dev/hde1 /mnt/win1 (old vfat formated partition used for files, tmp files etc once home of a win95b installation) /dev/hde2 /mnt/win2 (the old data-partition of the former one) /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash (usb stick) You should put /tmp and /var on own partitions. /tmp because everybody is allowed to fill it up.. and a full /-partition is no fun. /var is also prone to become huge.. so a seperate partition reduces the risk of annoying problems. /home on a own partition is a wise choice, because it is easy to reinstall your whole system, without damaging your precious data.
