The kernel doesn't create files in /dev/shm/.  That looks like something v4l-utils is doing.  It might just be using the USB name, but the kernel still isn't creating the file.

Although I have no idea why you even care about that file at all.  Also, spaces are perfectly legitimate in file names.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2011-09-29 17:48:52 UTC

Yep, v4l-utils creates that file and it plucks the string with the spaces directly from the USB descriptors. I see no need to strip the spaces from it, as said by Josh Linux can handle file names with spaces just fine. If you've some script which trips over this go and fix the script :)
