I don't think this is critical since /dev/MAKEDEV should be run on the target system anyway and that'll replace/repair any of the missing/broken nodes. >How-To-Repeat: Run "make release ..." in /usr/src/release Observe the following output: rolling bin/bin tarball tar: dev/wd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/rwd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped >Fix: Don't use tar to copy filesystems!!!!!!! I don't think tar can even be fixed to copy such devices, not without introducing the possibility of backward incompatability. (dump | restore) should work just fine. Pax may work OK too. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
