Re: MAKEDEV warning with sysinstall ?
No, I havn't tracked down the last couple of causes of this, but I will try to reproduce it as you describe it with some debugging added. How hard would it be to print the filename (or the device/inode) that triggers the warning? Not at all (warning: cutpasted patch, tabs are screwed up!) A similar message is in /sys/miscfs/specfs/spec_vnops.c now. Anyway, there is still at least one case of devices being opened in block mode in the *kernel*, namely the following VFS_MOUNT call at line 215 of vfs_mountroot_try() (/sys/kern/vfs_conf.c): error = VFS_MOUNT(mp, NULL, NULL, NULL, curproc); Typical message: May 13 20:36:29 bp6 /kernel: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1d May 13 20:36:29 bp6 /kernel: Device char-major=116 minor=131075 opened in block mode, convert to char mode with /dev/MAKEDEV before 2000-07-01 (Yes, I have -current root on ad0s1d, and -stable root on ad0s1a.)
