Oh. OK - thanks - I kinda wondered about the very logic of using WAPBL on devices too, but that's more of an intellectual debate than a real life debate so....On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 10:40:38PM +0100, Philip Dodd wrote:- I read some horror stories about /dev on a WAPBL sliceYes, there were definitely problems. They are however supposed to be fixed, eventually even before 5.0 was released. I have however personally not tried "/dev" on WAPBL for a while.
Again, thanks - looks like I'll go back to /dev on WAPBL, as that's the easiest way back for me. Tbh, I'd never seen issues myself, having used that setup for a while.I'm guessing that the union mounted /dev overwrote the MAKEDEV on the / disk slice when ./build.sh did its install and so that after the tmpfs /dev was no longer mounted with union, there was nothing on the partition.There are unfortunately known problems with "/dev" on MFS/tmpfs the way it is configure by "/sbin/init": http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=39278 Kind regards
