-.Dt DEV 7FS
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm dev
-.Nd Device name file system
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-filesystem manages the name spaces of devices in the operating system.
-The global zone's instance of the
-.Nm
-filesystem is mounted during boot on
-.Pa /dev .
-This filesystem is colloqiually called
-.Sq sdev
-as a way to distinguish it from the
-.Xr devfs 7FS
-filesystem mounted at
-.Pa /devices .
-.Pp
-A subdirectory under
-.Pa /dev
-may have unique operational semantics.
-Most of the common device names under
-.Pa /dev
-are created automatically by
-.Xr devfsadm 1M
-Others, such as
-.Pa /dev/pts ,
-.Pa /dev/net ,
-and
-.Pa /dev/zvol
-are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system.
-You can manually generate device names for newly attached hardware by invoking
-.Xr devfsadm 1M
-or implicitly, by indirectly causing a lookup or readdir operation in the
-filesystem to occur.
-For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was
-powered down (and generate a name for that device) by invoking
-.Xr format 1M .
-.Pp
-In a non-global zone, the
-.Nm
-filesystem is also mounted at
-.Pa /dev ;
-however, it is generally speaking read-only.
-Unlike in the global zone, a privileged user in a non-global zone cannot create
-directories or files, directories, or other objects within the filesystem.
-.Sh FILES

-Mount point for the

-.Pa /dev
-instance cannot be unmounted.
