Reviewing how opendev(3) is used again I think this needs to be backed out. The the block vs. character device distinction is really only relevant when converting a short-form device name to its full path. There is no reason to reject an existing file just because it is not a device--many utilities that use opendev() should work with the contents of a device dumped to a file. - todd
