Package: partimage
Version: 0.6.0-3
Severity: important

When I start partimage on my system it shows the following warnings:

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/(part1|part2|part5|part6)   
inode doesn't exists. Partimage can 
create it for you. You can also use the 
manual mknod command. Do you want this  
inode to be created for you now ?

When I answer the questions with yes (or with no) nothing happens in /dev.

In the main screen of partimage the following informations appear:

ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1    -unknown-    0 bytes
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2    -extended-
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5    -unknown-    0 bytes 
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6    -unknown-    0 bytes 
ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1    -unknown-    0 bytes  

So I can't backup anything.

partimage outputs a warning and aborts if a devfs enabled kernel is used
but /dev is not mounted. There is nothing much more we can do as we need
a working /dev directory. Besides devfs is now officially deprecated and
the stock Debian kernels do not support devfs anymore.
I'm therefore closing this bug.
