Filesystems on dev directory
 

Hi
I want to know what file system there are for "/dev" directory??apparently different types was developed for managing devices on Linux.
because I am a little confused about all file system on this directory.
Another question is,which is file system sufficient for managing devices on Embedded Linux ?
of course on our embedded system we do not have many pluggable device,so this directory can be static.

Thanks for any help or guidance

Hey mate...sorry if I misunderstood your question,if you want to see the list of partitions on your HDD issue this from a terminal
As i understood /dev/contains all info on the devices of our computer (The /dev directory contains the special device files for all the devices).

/dev
 

If I may add, on modern 'udev' based systems the /dev is not a real partition, it is created ( need verification of this part) and populate by udev and the device drivers as they load in a manner somewhat like the way /proc is created by a /proc enabled kernel.
This should be true for systems native, (non kernel based) virtual, or embedded.
