I need help in figuring out, how to remove stale symbolic links from /dev?. We removed kernel module '/kernel/drv/sctp{6}' as it was no longer required. As part of the removal we made necessary changes to the manifest files by deleting all the entries referring to the module and the modules '.conf' files. After image updating to the above changes, all the kernel module and associated configuration files are gone. However the following symbolic link still continues to exist. # ls -alth /kernel/drv/sctp* ls: cannot access /kernel/drv/sctp*: No such file or directory # ls -al /dev/sctp* lrwxrwxrwx /dev/sctp -> ../devices/pseudo/s...@0:sctp lrwxrwxrwx /dev/sctp6 -> ../devices/pseudo/sc...@0:sctp6You need to remove the sctp patterns from the misc link generator also. These links would then no longer be created and devfsadm -C should clean up earlier installs. grep sctp /ws/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/devfsadm/*.c /ws/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/devfsadm/misc_link.c: "(^ip$)|(^tcp$)|(^udp$)|(^icmp$)|(^sctp$)|" /ws/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/devfsadm/misc_link.c: "(^ip6$)|(^tcp6$)|(^udp6$)|(^icmp6$)|(^sctp6$)|"
Thanks a ton, to you both! cheers ~Girish _______________________________________________ on-ips-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/on-ips-dev
