sure. and it does, even when /tmp is mounted nodev (though of course
they're not actually device files):
0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.KSvP2v$ grep ' /tmp ' /proc/mounts
/tmp /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0
0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.KSvP2v$ ls -l
total 0
0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.KSvP2v$ fakeroot mknod foo c 4 64
0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.KSvP2v$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 dkg dkg 0 Dec 17 10:51 foo
0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.KSvP2v$
So something else is going on here, though i'm not sure what.
