More than 600 entries in /dev is hardly the lean mean /dev promised by
udev...
AFAIK, I don't use udev, and I get
# ls /dev | wc -l
7529
Hmm, 91% reduction doesn't seem bad.
Under other Linux distros I've ended up with _far_fewer_ devices. Are
I use Fedora Core.
all devices in /dev created by udev under Debian, or is there some other
tool that creates additional ones?
How can I get rid of the ones I don't need?
How do you know which ones you don't need?
# du -s /dev
572 /dev
1/2 Meg doesn't look like a lot of space to me. What are you
trying to conserve?
