DESCRIPTION
       The  directory  /etc/devices  is  a repository of device-related data. Files in this directory are used to preserve this information across
       reboots and are created and updated as necessary by the system.

       There are no administrative actions necessary with respect to files in /etc/devices. Should the contents of a file become corrupted  or	an
       update fail, the file can simply be removed. The system re-creates the file as necessary.
