What happened to ttys in 2.3.9

[Dmitry@Rivermine]

Hi, I noticed what looks like the /dev/tty1 - /dev/tty9 are no longer present in applications running on 2.3.9. I'm just trying to confirm that because the "mingetty" as configured in /etc/inittab from 2.2.2 appliances is not liking not having the ttys.

I'm simply going around and commenting out the entries in /etc/inittab like below
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
#2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
#3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
#4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
#5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
#6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

Is that going to be ok? I haven't looked at a catalog Linux appliance that came with 2.3.9 to see if those changes were there.

BTW would you guys have a list of changes made to OS between 2.2.2 and 2.3.9 so that I can go in and make these changes in my custom appliance?

Dmitry,

We had similar problems even in 2.2.2. Appliance boot volumes were filling up as /var/log/messages got clogged with missing tty messages. I commented them out a long time ago and never looked back; no problems here (so far!).

HTH,
Peter
