Hi,

with the old MAKEDEV script you could just use MAKEDEV all and it recreated
all device nodes.

Now, thats no longer possible.

And no, the -f option doesn't fix that:

mknod: console: File exists
mknod: constty: File exists
mknod: drum: File exists
mknod: kmem: File exists
mknod: mem: File exists
mknod: null: File exists
mknod: zero: File exists
[..]
