device autoconfiguration
Hi everyone,
I am new to Unix and just started reading the book recently. I was having a difficulty understanding one topic so I thought I should post it here. I am reading the chapter on Managing File Systems and it talks about device autoconfiguration. Can somebody tell me what is the purpose for doing this? And later on the author goes on talking about reconfiguration reboot and devfsadm. I have no idea what the author is saying about this topic. Just to let you know that I am reading "Solaris 10 System Administration" by Bill Calkins.
Thank You,
Saoud
