The boot options are prefixed by -"devfs=", and are separated by commas. Spaces are not allowed. The -syntax looks like this: - -devfs=<option1>,<option2>,<option3> - -and so on. For example, if you wanted to turn on debugging for module -load requests and device registration, you would do: - -devfs=dmod,dreg - -You may prefix "no" to any option. This will invert the option. - - -Debugging Options -================= - -These requires CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG to be enabled. -Note that all debugging options have 'd' as the first character. By -default all options are off. All debugging output is sent to the -kernel logs. The debugging options do not take effect until the devfs -version message appears (just prior to the root filesystem being -mounted). - -These are the options: - -dmod print module load requests to <request_module> - -dreg print device register requests to <devfs_register> - -dunreg print device unregister requests to <devfs_unregister> - -dchange print device change requests to <devfs_set_flags> - -dilookup print inode lookup requests - -diget print VFS inode allocations - -diunlink print inode unlinks - -dichange print inode changes - -dimknod print calls to mknod(2) - -dall some debugging turned on - - -Other Options -============= - -These control the default behaviour of devfs. The options are: - -mount mount devfs onto /dev at boot time - -only disable non-devfs device nodes for devfs-capable drivers |
