I thought that my problem might be linked to tmpfs that is why I mentioned that most of my tests were on tmpfs. My /tmp is not mounted nodev. :; grep " /tmp " /proc/self/mounts tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 > Can you try building on some other mount that does not use the "nodev" > option? I already have. I mentioned in my original bug report that I'd also had the same error on /var/tmp which is a btrfs filesystem. :; grep " /tmp " /proc/self/mounts tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 In /var/tmp I get the same error but root can create special devices in /var/tmp Setting up module-init-tools (9-3) ... generating modules.dep... run-parts: executing minimal/modules/network run-parts: executing minimal/modules/root-bashrc run-parts: executing minimal/modules/serial-terminal mknod: 'dev/ttyS0': Permission denied run-parts: minimal/modules/serial-terminal exited with return code 1 :; sudo mknod ttyS0 c 4 64 :; ls -l ttyS0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 64 Dec 17 10:51 ttyS0 In any case I'm confused. No non-root user can create special devices no matter what the value on nodev is. Fakeroot needs to simulate the create of special devices I think. thanks for your help Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
