The only way seems to recompile the kernel without devfs support.<BR /><BR />Good luck.<BR /><BR />Kodjo<BR /> Fri, 10 Jan 2003 21:14:16 GMT Kodjo Agbenu 2003-01-10T21:14:16Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/disable-devfs/m-p/2879528#M3304 i have a situation related to lvm where i have a kernel 2.4.16 created with devfs enabled. when i boot to this kernel without devfs enabled i still get the devfs naming scheme in /proc/partitions. i need the classic naming in /proc/partitions for lvm to behave the way i want it to.<BR /><BR />is there a way of getting a devfs-enabled kernel to boot devfs-not-enabled so that /proc/partitions to have classic naming?<BR /><BR />really, the only tool i have to change its behavior on boot is lilo. changing the append="devfs=mount" to append="devfs=nomount" does not work.
