poking around in watchdog support for the first time, and i see
these special device files:
crw-------. 1 root root 10, 130 Oct 15 04:55 /dev/watchdog
crw-------. 1 root root 250, 0 Oct 15 04:55 /dev/watchdog0
can someone tell me what part of the boot process creates those
special files?
i've yet to install the "watchdog" package, so there's no
user space watchdog daemon running yet. i do see the kernel threads:
root 13 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/0]
root 16 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/1]
root 24 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/2]
root 32 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/3]
root 40 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/4]
root 48 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/5]
root 56 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/6]
root 64 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdog/7]
root 85 2 0 04:55 ? 00:00:00 [watchdogd]
so i was assuming maybe a udev entry was creating them, but i don't
see it. still reading the docs so i'm sure i'll run across it
eventually, but would be nice if i knew who was responsible for
creating them. thanks.
