15 There is a tree of nodes that describe the layout of the DEVFS as seen by
16 the drivers.. they add nodes to this tree. This is called the 'back' layer
28 nodes.
33 The front and back nodes are identical in type, but the back nodes
41 To start with there is a 1:1 relationship between the front nodes
42 and the backing nodes, however once the front plane has been created
43 the nodes can be moved around within that plane (or deleted).
48 Front nodes that refer to devices, use the same "devnode" struct that is used 
49 by their associated backing node, so that multiple front nodes that
52 Front nodes representing directories and symlinks have their own

74 Because non device nodes (directories and symlinks) have their own
82 Directories also have backing nodes but there is nothing to stop
85 nodes keep their own records as to which front nodes are members
89 The front nodes may be moved to other directories (including
91 backing nodes and the front nodes. The backing node never moves. If
