Mount fdesc on /dev/fd (which is where most things expect it), and then run 100.clean-disks. I get output like so: Cleaning disks: find: /dev/fd/3/.w3m: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.ssh: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.ncftp: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.saves-18226-: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.k5login: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.cshrc: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.login: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.profile: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.history: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/.saves-33368-guru.mired.org: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.w3m: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.ssh: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.ncftp: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.saves-18226-: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.k5login: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.cshrc: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.login: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.profile: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.history: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4/.saves-33368-guru.mired.org: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/4: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/5: Bad file descriptor >Fix: Ok, I fibbed. The patch isn't here, it's in http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/35545, which includes a path to add an exclude list to 100.clean-disks. That should be applied, and daily_clean_disks_exclude should be set to /dev on systems that mount devfs on /dev by default. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
