OK, i did a stupid thing while hurriedly cleaning up the filesystem. Apparently i must have forgotten a > when i cat'd something to /dev/null and now the box is royally messed up. When i comes up it complains of course, and wants the filesystem repaired. I drop to a unix shell and all partitions come back clean with fsck.ext3, however, /dev/null is still a file with perms of -rw-r--r-- and i cannot figure out how to repair this.
First, how can i change null to be a, i believe, character device with correct perms (i.e. crw-rw-rw), And secondly, how can i do this on a read-only file system. The box boots with grub so i am not sure how to bring it up in single user mode, even tho i believe that would fail anyway, same reasons as above Does anyone have any real quick advice and suggestions on how to get this box back up??
