Q: devfs did load drivers when someone tried to open() a non existing
device. will sysfs/hotplug/udev do this?
A: there is no need to.
I never like it when the answer is "you don't want to do this". It
makes me think of a certain Redmond based company.
No... that's MacOS.. it does everything you want it to do... if you
think otherwise, you're *wrong*,
Quite true, I've never been able to use the old MacOS for more than a
few minutes without a total system crash, only fixable by pulling the
plug. MacOS is right, I don't want to use it, and it didn't let me.
Perfect.
although this isn't as applicable in MacOS X...
It didn't crash, but it made me log out very quickly.
