In the past, we (NetBSD folks) have talked about a devfs. One issue that 
has come up (I'll be honest, I've raised it a lot) is a desire to retain 
permission changes across boots, and to tie devices (when possible) to a 
device-specific attribute rather than a probe order.

Does FreeBSD's devfs support locators and persistent information? Are 
there plans to support something like that, if not?

Take care,

Bill
