That may well be the case (I didn't compile the kernel myself, I just
installed the kernel-image-2.4.18-386 package). devfs is listed in
/proc/filesystems. So I guess that means I have devfs in the kernel.

On the other hand, I have no devfs mounted, all of /dev but /dev/pts
are ordinary device nodes on an ordinary partition.

What's the right way to disable the devfs thing in arla? Is there a
configure option, or should I hack xfs/linux/xfs_locl.h to
unconditionally #undef DEVFS_SUPPORT?
