Hello,

How can I remake the /dev ?

Thank.

Hi Patrick,

in earlier times this could be achieved by the script /dev/MAKEDEV, 

but

it is missing nowadays.

I still have a MAKEDEV, but I do know how to set the device.
/sbin/MAKEDEV  [  -d directory ] [ -D directory ] [ -c configdir ] [ -m
       maxdevices ] [-a] [-n] [-v] [-i] [-M] [-S] [-u] [-x]  device ..
       devices
              [b|c] mode owner group major minor inc count fmt [base]

              count  devices will be created, with permissions set to 

mode and

              owned by owner and group.  The first device will be  

named  fmt,

              and  additional  devices will be created if count is 

larger than

              1.  If fmt contains a C-style  formatting  string,  it  

will  be

              filled  with  the sum of base and zero.  Subsequent 

devices will

              be filled with the sum of base and n * inc, where n is 

the order

              this  device  is being created in.  If the format string 

did not

              already include a format specifier, a "%d" will 

automatically be

              appended to it to make this work.

I think, *"man udev"* could be helpful for you.

Kind regards

Joachim
