Hello, We're having a strange issue on one of our OpenSolaris 64bit installs. For some unknown reason, /dev/null disappeared. We tried to reboot but it didn't help. We're running SNV93.
/devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null does exist and permissions are correct : # ls -l /devices/pseudo/m...@0\:null crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 13, 2 ao?t 21 15:59 /devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null devfsadm and devfsadm -P fail : # devfsadm -V chatty | grep null devfsadm: cannot create link: /dev/null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null. max attempts exceeded devfsadm[2456]: chatty: minor_process: node=mm, minor=null devfsadm[2456]: chatty: reset_node_permissions: phy_path=/devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null lphy_path=/pseudo/mm at 0:null /dev is writable by root and I can create files or symlinks into it, as long as they're not named, you guessed it, "null". I didn't find any reference to that particular issue. Has anyone encountered that issue already ? This message posted from opensolaris.org
