Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 1:09 am Post subject: How to remove devfsd from system? |
|
|
Hi, all...
I'm in the process of getting kinks out of my 2.6 kernel configuration. I have seen many suggestions to get rid of 'devfsd' to avoid conflict with 'udev'.
How do I do that? Is there a menuconfig option for devfsd? How can I even tell if devfsd is even running?
Would someone please help me with this?
Thanks... _________________ "Primum non nocere" ---Galen |

Just configure your kernel and remove it.... hold on, let me find it.......
Code: | File Systems --> Pseudo filesystems --> /dev file system support (OBSOLETE) |
You don't have to take it out, but you might as well. All you HAVE to do is just deselect this line:
Code: | [ ] Automatically mount at boot |

Thank you...
But where do I find that line? Code: | [ ] Automatically mount at boot |
In 'Menuconfig--->File systems--->' I have the option: Code: | <*> Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3) |
Is that the particular line you mean I should deselect?
Thank you, again... _________________ "Primum non nocere" ---Galen |

Well, it is dependency option, if you disable devfs completely, you won't see Code: | [ ] Automatically mount at boot | If you leave devfs enabled, you'd see the option.

That's a good question...
Once 'devfsd' has been removed (to clear the way for 'udev') how can you check to see if 'udev' is running?
Does anyone have a suggestion?

This one is easy
Check if you have Code: | cat /proc/mounts | grep ramfs
none /dev ramfs rw 0 0 | and Code: | ls -l /dev/.udev*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 27 10:10 /dev/.udev
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 655360 Apr 28 07:17 /dev/.udev.tdb
|
If you do, udev is up and running

Birtz... Super (I needed something easy)!
Like you, I get:
Code: | root@cgmd cg # cat /proc/mounts | grep ramfs
none /dev ramfs rw 0 0
root@cgmd cg # ls -l /dev/.udev*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 27 17:55 /dev/.udev
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 622592 Apr 27 22:55 /dev/.udev.tdb
|
So it must be up and running...
Must be other reasons for my usb & alsa failure in 2.6...
