devtmpfs and arch linux

sveri80 · 2010-01-06 10:59:14

Hi Folks,

i read about that new shiny devtmpfs that appeared in Kernel 2.6.32:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … 3c398c3a8b

But i cannot find any docs about, for instance, how to activate it, or whom to activate it.

Any ideas? Is it implemented or activated in arch linux by default?

Greetings
Sven

Doesn't appear to be enabled by default.

$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep DEVTMPFS
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set

You would need to compile your own kernel to be able to play with this.
