In the past, we (NetBSD folks) have talked about a devfs. One issue that=20
has come up (I'll be honest, I've raised it a lot) is a desire to retain=20
permission changes across boots, and to tie devices (when possible) to a=20
device-specific attribute rather than a probe order.

Does FreeBSD's devfs support locators and persistent information? Are=20
there plans to support something like that, if not?

Take care,

Bill
