I currently have this file system structure mounted:
It looks like there's a very large file in /mnt/dev.
Yes, it does.
Did someone do a dd if=/dev/something of=/dev/something-else without
checking that something-else was a device node, not a plain file?
Not that I am aware of. There is ONE huge file in /dev : .udev.tbd
Snippet of ls -l of /dev reveals:
total 124596
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 77824 May 3 04:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 May 12 12:58 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16384 May 12 04:15 .udev.tdb
Huge? 16k huge?
