Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything
relevant in the mail archives.
/dev/MAKEDEV contains references to chown and chgrp which are in
/usr/sbin. This makes it impossible to run MAKEDEV when the /usr fs
is not available. I had recent occasion when I had to execute MAKEDEV
before /usr could be mounted---in fact, I had to execute MAKEDEV so
that /usr could be mounted on the disk whose LUN id had changed to
something for which there were no entries in /dev. Yes, I know that I
should have run MAKEDEV before changing the id on the disk, but I do
feel one should be able run MAKEDEV without needing to have /usr
mounted. Shouldn't chown and chgrp be in /sbin?
Thanks,
Rajappa
