I have attached fstab. It has the paritions configured with root = |
| 2 |
/dev/dha7 ext3, which is correct. I ran the e2fsck (because it said that |
| 3 |
is had been over 12000 days since the last test, due to not resetting the |
| 4 |
clock), and it reported no problems, 1.1% fragmentation. |

What should I be using instead of devfs? |
