I noticed something while porting our driver to leopard today. It seems that devfs_make_node() is truncating characters from the fmt specifier when creating subdirectories. Eg if I make a call: devfs_hdl = devfs_make_node(dev, DEVFS_CHAR, 0, 0, 0777, "%sxvm/%s", prefix, edgename); A much simpler test for what (i assume) is the same problem can be illustrated here: : [cxfsmac11{cxfs-dev}]kern ; sudo ln -s /dev/xv /dev/xvm : [cxfsmac11{cxfs-dev}]kern ; ls -la /dev/xvm lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 May 16 16:58 /dev/xvm -> /dev/x Note that the link points to /dev/x rather than /dev/xv as the command line suggested. Adding a bogus extra character does actually work in creating the correct link. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
