:Im kind of confused as to why there is need to mount the fdesc filesystem
:into /dev/fd dirctory.
:
:Contents of /dev/fd are:
:
:[elevator] /dev% ls /dev/fd
:0       15      21      28      34      40      47      53      6       9
:1       16      22      29      35      41      48      54      60
:10      17      23      3       36      42      49      55      61
:11      18      24      30      37      43      5       56      62
:12      19      25      31      38      44      50      57      63
:13      2       26      32      39      45      51      58      7
:14      20      27      33      4       46      52      59      8

    The in-filesystem /dev/fd only has nodes for descriptors 0-63.
    the fdesc filesystem will list all descriptors the calling process
    has open regardless of how many there are.

:and when i do mount -t fdesc fdesc /dev/fd, its the same as above except
:theres devices from 0 to 5 only.
:
:Btw, i meant the first patch applied to kern_syscalls.c. Can you MFC the
:already committed patch to -RELEASE too?
:
:Thanks,
:Petr

    I will on monday.
