Description Wolfgang Rosenauer 2007-03-20 09:34:04 UTC

I wonder why there is an entry in /etc/fstab:

usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0

while

# CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS is not set
in the kernel configuration.

I don't know why this is requested since it's also superfluous but here is the part where you see the addition of the line.

Comment 3 Thomas Fehr 2007-03-22 16:48:40 UTC

Andreas, should creation of the entry for /proc/bus/usb to /etc/fstab
be removed from yast2-storage?

Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2007-03-23 06:53:51 UTC

10.3 - and the next 10.2 update kernel - will have USBDEVFS set again, so leave it in for now.

Comment 5 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2007-03-23 07:37:38 UTC

Nice to hear. So my vmware will work again with the official kernel usbcore ;-)
