FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE, amd64 To create some character special devices in a chroot environment, I've previously used mknod, but now can't find the major and minor device numbers. The ls manpage says these numbers should be displayed in the size field. However, I'm seeing only one hex value, e.g.: $ ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0x13 Oct 25 12:22 /dev/null So I don't know what major and minor values to feed mknod. Or is there another way to do this? thanks dn
