pseudo device?
sometimes I see this message in dmesg:
Quote:
pseudo: [ID 129644 kern.info] pseudo-device: devinfo0
genunix: [ID 936766 kern.info] devinfo0 is /pseudo/devinfo@0
what does it mean?
thanks.

can 'vmstat' also cause it?

vmstat is a reporting tool, not sure about what you mean with "causing it".

I noticed that exact same time is when message was logged and vmstat used.

This information message might indeed appear when vmstat is run as it might use the devinfo driver.
Code:
 $ ldd /bin/vmstat
        libdevinfo.so.1 =>       /lib/libdevinfo.so.1
        libkstat.so.1 =>         /lib/libkstat.so.1
        libavl.so.1 =>   /lib/libavl.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        ...
