My understanding of the /dev/fd is that they are devices which are unique to each process - that is why they are linked to /proc and always owne by the process. As a process opens a new file descriptor (i.e. an fd) - a coresponding /dev/fd/ will be created.
So if you are a user and you do a ls - you will see at least 3 /dev/fd all owned by the process listing them. Any other will probably be opened/used by child processes That said, all looks normal - in your listing /dev/fd/0 1 & 2 all point to the same terminal/console type device /dev/pts/2 You can run test with shell scripts - redirectory output from say ls or cat to fd 3 (e.g. 3> ) and then seeing if a /dev/fd/3 exists. Otherwise lookup Debian forums. IF you get no joy - then I can provide patches (created by flipflip ) to mplayer - to apply and make a custom mplayer which overcomes this /dev/fd issue. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35587 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
