Probably not very surprising. I don't think fdesc is a supported filesystem currently. Also, mounting something over /dev cries for an error (you shadow all the existing /dev entries, so the only filesystem you should ever mount there is devfs). Finally, why don't you simply use the existing /dev/std* and /dev/fd/* entries? They are using a pseudo-device driver instead of a filesystem, but achieve the same goal. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
