Hello,
I weren't clear the first time, but this issue is encountered on a system that has been running perfectly for a few weeks (and not during an install). Nothing special happened on that system, though OpenSSH (which we use on that system in replacement of SunSSH) crashed on us 10 minutes before we noticed /dev/null went missing. Maybe one issue caused the other. Nothing was done under /dev. As stated earlier, I am not able to create *anything* named "null" under /dev/ : # ln -s ../devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:null /dev/null ln: cannot create /dev/null: No such file or directory # touch /dev/null touch: /dev/null cannot create touch /dev/anything succeeds, though Best regards, François Feugeas > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: François Feugeas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 1:10:48 PM > Subject: Re: [indiana-discuss] [sysadmin-discuss] /dev/null > disappeared and unable to recreate it > > Francois, > > I'm reposting this on indiana-discuss to see if anyone on that list > can provide some input. > > Is this happening during a netinstall? > Can you provide the output of ls -l /dev/null? > > Cindy > > François Feugeas wrote: > > Hello, > > > > We're having a strange issue on one of our OpenSolaris 64bit > installs.
