2014-08-08devfs: several small clarificationsWilliam Hubbs
- Rename the static_dev switch in conf.d/devfs to skip_mount_dev since this is a better description of what the switch does. - Clarify the error messages in the devfs service script based on the new name of the switch.
2014-01-05devfs: add code to mount /devWilliam Hubbs
All Linux systems need /dev to be set up,so add code to devfs to do this. The process devfs follows is below. 1. If static_dev is yes, nothing is done. 2. if /dev is an entry in fstab it is mounted or remounted based on that entry. 3. If /dev is not in fstab, it attempts to mount /dev as a devtmpfs or tmpfs depending on which is defined in the kernel; devtmpfs is preferred. 4. If neither devtmpfs nor tmpfs is defined, it assumes the user wants static /dev and prints a warning. X-Gentoo-Bug: 492694 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492694
