After "mknod /foo/dev/null c 0 0x1b": $ \ls -l /dev/null /foo/dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0x1b Aug 28 15:34 /foo/dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0x1b Aug 28 15:36 /dev/null $ cat /etc/hosts > /dev/null $ cat /etc/hosts > /foo/dev/null /foo/dev/null: Operation not supported. What am I doing wrong? Why isn't the device I created acting like /dev/null? Tried on FreeBSD 11.1. Thanks, James -- James E. Pace
