SYNOPSIS
     /etc/devices


     /etc/devices/devidcache

DESCRIPTION
     The directory /etc/devices is a repository of device-related
     data.  Files  in  this  directory  are used to preserve this
     information across reboots and are created  and  updated  as
     necessary by the system.


     There are no administrative actions necessary  with  respect
     to  files  in  /etc/devices.  Should  the contents of a file
     become corrupted or an update fail, the file can  simply  be
     removed. The system re-creates the file as necessary.
