Hello everyone, I was busy for a few days and had delivary to my account off for the mailing lists. Is there anything very major happenning on the list? I am using Mandrake 9.0 and something called DevFS starts everytime I boot up my PC. It takes approx 30 seconds of time during bootup. I realized that the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit causes it to run.
# Try to get devfsd if [ -c /dev/.devfsd ]; then if [ -x /sbin/devfsd ]; then action "Running DevFs daemon" devfsd /dev else if ! grep -q "nodevfsd" /proc/cmdline;then # devfs is used but devfsd isn't installed quiet off gprintf " #### your system is currently using devfs but devfsd isn't availlable" gprintf " #### you should disable devfs (add 'devfs=nomount' to the paramaters" gprintf " #### that your bootloader gives to the kernel" # Let devfs being tested, but disable it on /dev action " Disabling devfs (was mounted on /dev)" umount /dev fi fi fi
Can I disable it, I do not understand what it is. There is no man or any other info for it. Thanks in advance.
Bye.
