15 Well, I have only removed a few of them so far. I have not taken the time
16 to remove them all, but for example a symlink you know that you do not use
17 can be disabled in /etc/devfsd like so:
18
19 REGISTER ^floppy IGNORE
20
21 This goes at the beginning of the devfsd.conf, before these lines:
22
23 REGISTER .* MKOLDCOMPAT
24 UNREGISTER .* RMOLDCOMPAT
25 REGISTER .* MKNEWCOMPAT
26 UNREGISTER .* RMNEWCOMPAT
27
28
29 I haven't looked at the source to know which of these I can do away with
30 yet, so my devfsd.conf is getting large. I do intend to eventually be
31 able to remove both.
