Re: kern/59761: dmsetup broken in 10.1 with default GENERIC kernel

[Mike Edwards <mike%mobile.mirkwood.net@localhost>]

Confirmed - if I shut down the VM, mount it's fs on the Linux Xen
host, and mknod the control file from there, it's created correctly,
and now dmsetup -vv ls works:
[ksh] root@netbsd02# dmsetup -vv ls
Ioctl type  version --- flags 4
Ioctl type  names --- flags 4
No devices found

I suppose it'll do as a workaround right now, but the inability to
create the node from the running netbsd VM is a bit odd.  Perhaps an
issue with using ext2 for /?
