The right thing is that, if you want to support back-and-forth flipping, to introduce a udev rule which looks for pts/ptmx, links to it if present, and otherwise creates the ptmx device node. This is *only* required to support back-and-forth, and can be introduced at any time after this patch is in the kernel -- or even before. -hpa _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
