LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
dev
dev(7FS) File Systems dev(7FS)
NAME
dev - Device name file system
DESCRIPTION
The dev filesystem manages the name spaces of devices under the Solaris operating environment. The global zone's instance of the dev
filesystem is mounted during boot on /dev.
A subdirectory under /dev may have unique operational semantics. Most of the common device names under /dev are created automatically by
devfsadm(1M). Others, such as /dev/pts, are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system. You can manually generate device
names for newly attached hardware by invoking devfsadm(1M) or implicitly, by indirectly causing a lookup or readdir operation in the
filesystem to occur. For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was powered down (and generate a name for that
device) by invoking format(1M)).
FILES
/dev Mount point for the /dev filesystem in the global zone.
SEE ALSO
devfsadm(1M), format(1M), devfs(7FS)
NOTES
The global /dev instance cannot be unmounted.
