I've found the bug. It had nothing to do with devfs: It was a bug in the
"Remount active filesystems" bug by Matthew Wilcox. The bug has been
fixed.
Richard: Sorry for thinking about devfs first. devfs is great stuff!
Matthew: Thank's for your fast reaction to my mails. Your patch is
even great stuff!
greetings,
- Clifford
PS: Both patches - "devfs" and "remount active filesystems" - are
listed on the 'Linux Kernel Patch Archive' at
