You apparently missed the part of Daniel's email where he said you |
| 17 |
have a "normal" number. Several hundred device nodes is normal (850 |
| 18 |
for Daniel, 932 here). The vast majority of which (577) are tty or |
| 19 |
pty devices that will be on all systems. So yeah, you should be fine. |
