Hi to all, here is a new patch for bb's devfsd. The news are: 1) Size reduction for the basic setup with no options compiled in from : text data bss dec hex filename 10591 392 543 11526 2d06 devfsd.o rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18536 Dec 18 21:52 devfsd.o to: text data bss dec hex filename 9303 392 543 10238 27fe devfsd.o rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16528 Dec 18 22:02 devfsd.o With this setup you should not expect much output from devfsd ( just at start or with -v) and if some error occurs it only exits 1. To have more output enable: " Increases logging (and size)" (+1568 b). 2) The option "Adds function names to program output" was removed from config menu and now to enable debug output you can use bb's standard option: "Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols". Be careful as with this option enabled a lot of data are outputted to /dev/log and/or to stderr. 3) A new option: "Enables the -fg and -np option" was added to config menu (+128 b). BTW: option "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf" adds 268 b. 4) The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported: "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE", "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE", "MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT". But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!! 5)Help text in usage.h was modified. 6)Something that I have forgotten.......... I've tested this for the last week on my box and it seems to work as expected. Thanks in advance and please apply. Ciao, Tito

Hi to all, I'm sorry but I didn't spot this big fat bug until now, Matteo Croce emailed me about it. Please apply this patch as the devfsd applet is broken and works only on a system booted with a standard devfsd ( the test I mostly did :-( ), but if used at boot time it DOESN'T WORK. Thanks in advance and please apply Tito
