Hi Ivan: Cloning device nodes will garbage collect as a result of pressure from other device nodes being created, or possibly if system memory gets low. At some point we may transition to using a single device nodes with per-session state, supported as of FreeBSD 8.x if I recall, and patches have been circulated -- however, it should make no practical difference from a user perspective. So, in conclusion, no, not a bug, just a feature that might be surprising. Roberthelp
