The first step to enabling devfs on your system is easy: you'll need to enable devfs support in the kernel.
在系统上启用devfs的第一步比较简单：就是要使内核支持devfs。
While devfs provides all the "new-style" devices, the old-style device nodes are created by the devfsd daemon.

In the previous installment (Part 4), we took a close look at what devfs is and how it solves nearly all device management problems.
在上一部分(第4部分)中，我们具体讨论了什么是devfs，以及它是如何解决几乎所有的设备管理问题的。
To get a good understanding of devfs, it's best to first understand how devfs changes things from the perspective of the device driver.
为了很好地理解devfs，最好是先理解从设备驱动程序的角度来看devfs是怎样改变事物的。
However, now that devfs is enabled, the device drivers use a new and improved kernel call to register their devices, called devfs_register .
然而，现在启用了devfs，设备驱动程序是用一种新的、改进了的内核调用来注册设备，称为devfs_register 。
Then, in the next article, we'll focus on devfs, and after that we'll spend some time getting intimately familiar with the new ext3 filesystem.
