I have seen that a few times, especially when importing ZFS pools

You can try to unmount the overlay / or just mount a 2nd devfs if you need:

mount -t devfs devfs /dev

I don't have any nodes in /dev at all. As far as I remember there was 
always a minimum set of nodes in there, like ttys etc.


What happened? Which changes did I miss?

I booted a system last week that resulted in 2 / being mounted. devfs 
was underneath the second / which resulted in an empty /dev. At least 
that's what I was able to guess, it obviously was a messy situation.

We use devfs, so you don't need anything in /dev... when the system
boots, it'll automatically mount /dev for you..

No devices/nodes/files in /dev after building and installing world

2014-06-23 Thread Mattia Rossi

Hi all,

I'm currently stuck on the following. Haven't built HEAD in a while, and 
now after a


make buildworld kernel installworld distrib-dirs distribution

I don't have any nodes in /dev at all. As far as I remember there was 
always a minimum set of nodes in there, like ttys etc.


What happened? Which changes did I miss?

Cheers,

Mat
