FreeBSD garrcoop-fbsd.cisco.com 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #2: Wed Feb 3 16:57:07 PST 2010 garrcoop@garrcoop-fbsd.cisco.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPPY_X86 i386
>Description:
device isn't a supported keyword in mtree(8) [makefs(8) references the device keyword]:
[root@garrcoop-fbsd /home/garrcoop]# mtree -k device
mtree: line 0: unknown keyword device
-F specfile
Use specfile as an mtree(8) `specfile' specification.
If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its per-
missions and modification time will be used unless specifically
overridden by the specfile. An error will be raised if the type of
entry in the specfile conflicts with that of an existing entry.
In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
in the underlying file system) the following occurs: If the spec-
file entry is marked optional, the specfile entry is ignored. Oth-
erwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is necessary
to specify at least the following parameters in the specfile: type,
mode, gname or gid, and uname or uid, device (in the case of block
^^^^^^
or character devices), and link (in the case of symbolic links).
If time isn't provided, the current time will be used. If flags
isn't provided, the current file flags will be used. Missing regu-
lar file entries will be created as zero-length files.
This patch removes that reference.
