Bug in your devfsd.comf file. Have you modified/added any
entries to it?
Nope, not at all. I had trouble with another issue before, and someone
told me that I had to modify this file, but when I looked at it, it was
so cryptic that I knew I didn't understand it well enough, and left it
alone.
:-)
Less cryptic than it might seem at first glance. Trick
is to start from a working example. e.g., here is the
entry for my tape drive. "/dev/tapes/tape0/mt" is what
I want "/dev/tape" to look like. Paths are relative to
/dev/ (or whatever your mount point is). You can LOOKUP
a new device, REGISTER the "real" device as the "standard"
device or UNREGISTER the device. From there the logic is
not all that complicated:
LOOKUP ^tape$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink
tapes/tape0/mt tape
REGISTER ^tapes/tape0/mt$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink tapes/tape0/mt
tape
UNREGISTER ^tapes/tape0/mt$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink tape
Either way, you still have a bug in your devfsd.conf file.
