Hi, all. Version 14 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/kernel-patches.html

This is against 2.1.79. It will *not* work with 2.1.81, so don't try.
Highlights of this release:

- bug fix in floppy driver: would not compile without
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS='Y'

- bug fix in loop driver
Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>

- do not create devfs entries for printers not configured

- do not create devfs entries for serial ports not present
Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>

- ensure <tty_register_devfs> is exported from tty_io.c

- allow unregistering of devfs symlink entries

- fixed bug in SCSI disc naming introduced in last patch version

Regards,

Richard....
