All that wiring is done through minor device numbers, which are only 32 bits. We need a real namespace. Writing a fresh devfs from scratch would not be difficult. I have simplified the VFS subsystem so much that it could probably be done in a week or two if someone already familiar with VFS got down and did it. For me, though, its dead last on my personal list of things to do. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
