Hi,
I'm trying to create chrooted enviroment, i did the folllowing in the chrooted enviroment:
mknode c null 0 24
mknode c zero 0 25
And then i did chroot and those files are under /dev, but when i wrote a short program in C that tries to open /dev/null (within the chrooted env.) i got:
"/dev/null-operation is not supported"
Any way i tried to open or use (i'm running "perl -pi -e ..." and it said that: "Can't open perl script "-e": No such file or directory". which brings me again to /dev/null) i get the same message "/dev/null-operation is not supported".
Only by doing mount of devfs it seems to work fine, but i prefer not to do mount every time (because then i get that my chrooted enviroment pathname is too long for FreeBSD)
I'm not quite sure if this is a bug, but i hope it is (sorry to say that).
