How many "extra kilobytes for the device files" are you talking about?

A /dev/ directory with 170 entries (more than just a  small  embedded
system)  will  occupy  only 2 kB of data blocks; add for 170 inodes -
how much is this?

And how much does your kernel grow when you add devfs support?

Best regards,
