Hello. I'm getting this message once per bootup, but I can't figure out why.

I see this change just started in 2.5.52-bk4. My
/etc/fstabdoesn't have usbdevfs, it has usbfs.I've grepped my entire /etc, and don't find any references to 'usbdevfs'. Is this a warning about the kernel using it, or user-space using that name? Can you offer a clue where I might find this, and correct it?
Is this a Red Hat machine?
If so, look in /etc/rc.sysinit. That's where Red Hat mounts usbdevfs.
For a Debian box, it's done in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc. I don't know where the other distros do this, but it's probably one of the above two places.
Don't worry, the usbdevfs name will stick around and work through 2.6, I'm just trying to warn people that it will go away in 2.7.
Also, more recent 2.4 kernels support the usbfs name, if you want to change the rc.sysinit file and not worry about it anymore.
Hope this helps,
