On a build server, I have a union mount of a FreeBSD o/s build from a point-in-time under a build directory, and then I have devfs mounted on dev in the build directory as well so I can do a chroot install of packages for particular target o/s versions. mount shows this: <below>:/usr/app8xbuild/os-image on /usr/autobuild/images/product-image (unionfs, local) devfs on /usr/autobuild/images/product-image/dev (devfs, local, multilabel) and the system does a chroot to /usr/autobuild/images/product-image/ while installing the ports for the product. It seems impossible, but at times, after unmounting /usr/autobuild/images/product-image/dev and /usr/autobuild/images/product-image, a regular file /usr/autobuild/images/product-image/dev/null will be left as a result of redirecting some output to /dev/null during the port installs. Could there be some odd interaction of devfs and unions that allows this to happen? Guy-------- This message has been scanned by ComplianceSafe, powered by Palisade's PacketSure.help
