Udev is a replacement for devfs...udev is a user space tool, instead devfs is a part of the kernel. I prefer to use udev, but sometimes it's difficult to write the rules in the configuration file (man udev(8)) To see if you have it installed, you could use dpkg: #dpkg -l | grep udev What you see for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2, it's just another way to say the same thing, hda2. If you use udev, you can change it to show that way or the old way (hdxx). About devfs, i don't use it since a lot, so i don't remember :-P Pier -- Un uomo saggio impara dall' esperienza.
