MAKEDEV is not going to help. I am trying to backup a system. If the backup is not bootable, MAKEDEV is not usable. Aside from that, the idea is to save the devices that are there; it is possible that some package or person could add a special node. If that happens, a backup should catch it. The hiding of a mounted filesystem seems very broken to my sysadmin side. Be well, rir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
