All of a sudden I've noticed when I boot up a bunch of lines, shown here:

ction_compat: error unlinking: "vcs2" No such file or directory
ction_compat: error unlinking: "vcsa2" No such file or directory

Then the same two lines, but for vcs3,vcsa3, through vcs7,vcsa7, for a total of 12 lines in all.

I can't see what's in front of "ction" on my boot-up mesaage screen- it's cut off, apparently.

Could be function or action, I suppose.
There is no log showing the boot messages to find out.

dmesg shows:

ReiserFS: hda6: Using r5 hash to sort names
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/2
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a2
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/3
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a3
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/4
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a4
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/5
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a5
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/6
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a6
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/7
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a7

I'd like to know what this means, and why it's suddenly happening, or if I should worry about it. Seems to me to be something about consoles? It's after a emerge -u system, so I suspect a configuration problem that I missed in etc-update, or did wrong- I'm very careful with etc-update, and know what I'm doing- or maybe NOT???

Thanks much,

I'd use udev instead of the deprecated devfs, that should solve your problems... and create some new :)

I've been getting this too on my older box, it only happens like every second boot though, and nothing is cut-off.
