- I want to present a subset of devices to a chrooted devfs. - I want to give a different set of permissions than the default. - I want to be able to call a device by a different (symbolic name) without using symlinks. - I want to prevent access to the device completely by not providing a device node. - I want to preserve those changes across boots. - I want to be able to move all my disk devices to a subdirectory. christos
