I find it in the production kernel? Good, so it was considered ready by someone. Seems to me one of the Redhat kernels had devfs as a module, they seem to think so. It's a good question, though, and I am assuming that the answer is "it's in the stable kernel" which isn't yes or no. If it's not stable then there simply is no Linux solution to large storage. Given what vendors are doing I find that unintuitive. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
