Odd, that's one of the two things /etc/init.d/devfs is supposed to |
11 |
do. (The other is to mount tmpfs.) The whole point of that script is |
12 |
to provide those two filesystems in case the user "forgot" to specify |
13 |
them in /etc/fstab. |

If this is reproducible (say, after next reboot devpts still doesn't |
16 |
come up, while devfs is started), then something is wrong. Filing a |
17 |
bug report likely won't help because it works on mostly everyone |
18 |
else's system; you should probably ping the list again to find out |
19 |
what the source of the problem is. |

A work around would be to just add the appropriate line to /etc/fstab. |
22 |
the devfs script is smart enough to check if the devpts and tmpfs are |
23 |
already mounted, so it should break anything additional. |
