Hi there,

I saw this message during a -stable "make release":

  touch release.5
  rm -rf /R/stage/dists
  mkdir -p /R/stage/dists
  rolling bin/bin tarball
  tar: dev/sa0.ctl: minor number too large; not dumped

sa0.ctl minor number is:

# ls -la /dev/sa0.ctl
crw-rw----  2 root  wheel   14, 0x20000000 May 28 17:05 /dev/sa0.ctl

Is tar expected to skip this kind of devices, or is there a workaround?
