Re: [PLUG] weird devfs issues

I don't think so. RedHat's init first runs /etc/rc.sysinit then /etc/rc
(which does the troll through /etc/rc3.d/.) In /etc/rc.sysinit, the first
set of commands checks for the existance of /dev/.devfsd. If it finds
it, the script starts devfsd. According to the defvs FAQ, this is the
accepted method to handle this.
/etc/rc.sysinit goes through several other steps (like setting the
hostname, etc) then it runs swapon.

/dev/hda2 - which devfsd is converting to
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2. It shows up that way when I run
swapon -s.
