I am confused. devfs has been staunchly rejected by the Cooker team
in the past. Now devfsd is a requirement of the latest kernels. Are
up-to-date Cooker machines supposed to be using devfs[d] or not?
I get the following error while trying to use arecord:
[brian@pc brian]$ arecord -t 21600 -m -r -d 2 >/dev/null
Arecord: version 0.5.10 by Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Error: unable to obtain longname: No such file or directory
and here is why:
[brian@pc brian]$ strace -f arecord -t 21600 -m -r -d 2 >/dev/null
execve("/usr/bin/arecord", ["arecord", "-t", "21600", "-m", "-r", "-d", "2"], [/* 44
vars */]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="pc", ...}) = 0
...
getpid() = 28365
write(2, "Arecord: version 0.5.10 by Jaros"..., 59Arecord: version
0.5.10 by Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
) = 59
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file
descriptor)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "Error: unable to obtain longname"..., 60Error: unable to obtain longname: No
such file or directory
) = 60
_exit(1) = ?
[brian@pc brian]$ ls -l /dev/snd
ls: /dev/snd: No such file or directory
So my ALSA devivces have disappeard. Is that because I am supposed to
be mounting devfs and running devfsd? If not, what is supposed to
create those devices. They don't seem to exist in the latest "dev"
package.
