    In the past, we (NetBSD folks) have talked about a devfs. One issue that
    has come up (I'll be honest, I've raised it a lot) is a desire to retain
    permission changes across boots, and to tie devices (when possible) to a
    device-specific attribute rather than a probe order.

    Does FreeBSD's devfs support locators and persistent information? Are
    there plans to support something like that, if not?

    Take care,

    Bill
