I recently had a very strange lockup where the only thing I could do was hit ctrl-alt-del to reboot the system. I got a very quick message that there were some processes that could not be shutdown (runaways I suppose) and that I should do something, I couldn't get it all down by the time it was cleared. I've rebooted without any obvious errors showing up, except that now when I do a ps -ax to check out some stats on a program I get the following warning: ps: warning: /var/run/dev.db: No such file or directory I have no idea where my /dev name database went, but it's no longer there. I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE. Is there some way I can rebuild the dev name database? I'm a little lost on this one so any help would be greatly appreciated.
