Then it should return EPERM, EACCESS, EINVAL, or basically anything except EIO, imho. I got bit by this as well, and thought /sbin/devfs was simply broken or not fully coded until I saw this post.

Is there a benefit to having an invisible, immutable default ruleset? -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
