So those devices don't get created during install on Z. Since those devices were not there, the regular files were created on first access by the golden master system, and subsequently propegated. I see no compelling reason to create these devices on a system that cannot use them/didn't define them to begin with. > > You could probably delete them and rerun makedevs, but I'd back things > up first to make sure. > > > Marcy Cortes Thanks for all the help guys. -J Disclaimer: Information in this message or an attachment may be government data and thereby subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, may be subject to attorney-client or work product privilege, may be confidential, privileged, proprietary, or otherwise protected, and the unauthorized review, copying, retransmission, or other use or disclosure of the information is strictly prohibited.
