Hi, Interesting question was posed to me which I can't locate a straight answer to. We've been following -current for a few years now. Over time, the devices in /dev have moved around, new added, and old deleted (ie: we've never had to restage one of these machines and/or purge it and reinstall). So, what would the correct sequence be to wipeout /dev and recreate it? (create /dev in an alternate location and compare the two...??) Given that the above can be automated on a live system, is this something that can/should be added to make installworld/world? (or atleast generate a report of changed devices, or devices that can nolonger be created..) Comments welcome. -John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
