site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Given that subdirectories in /dev are not supported, and may be removed, if we end up needing to do that for some technical reason, it's probably better to just go that route on both 10.4 and 10.5 instead. This is probably the approach we will end up taking... just have to actually do it :) Oi! That's my code you'd be ripping out! ;o) Subdirectories do not remove the node name length limit. -- Terry _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

The WWNs are too long to include in the one devfs node name, so the only option is to use a hierarchy. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
