1586	ramfs vs. tmpfs	archaic@…	archaic@…	"There are a couple of issues here:

1) Currently the book instructs the reader mount a ramfs for the creation of
temporary devices. Down a couple of paragraphs, the instructions say to mount
tmpfs on /dev/shm. Since the book already assumes tmpfs support, I suggest we
drop the use of ramfs and just use tmpfs for /dev.

2) The boot states ""There are some symlinks and directories required by LFS that
are not created by Udev, so create those here:"" -- Perhaps tie in the fact that
the bootscripts do this for us also.

ISTM that if we can more strongly link what we are doing in each of the steps on
this page to what the bootscripts will do later, it will improve the educational
value."	defect	closed	lowest		Book	TESTING	normal	fixed
