mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' error
hi,
Recently I noticed the following messages during the bootup on my Debian etch(2.6.13) installation Code:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' Is this because I installed udev on my system couple of weeks back? Also do I need to uninstall devfs after installing udev? Thanks |
I'd say yeah, Udev replaces devfs. Remove the instances of devfs in your fstab and make sure that udev is started on boot and you should be fine :)

How do I remove the instance of devfs from my fstab file. Here is my fstab file Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. ALso I think udev is started on boot. |
add devfs=nomount to you kernel command line (grub.conf|lilo.conf)

Recompile your kernel with support for udev but, not for devfs thus removing any references to devfs in kernel. That you'd do if you're really bothered about the error mesage and are willing to venture into a recompile.

Udev isn't a kernel module, up until the most recent version it ran entirely in userspace. The new Udev however depends on a uevent kernel module that has been introduced in 2.6.15.

I guess you are not choice when compile the new kernel,

I had the same question, actually...
