Re: How can I build debian /dev tree on RHEL 4?

["Supriya Sriraman" <sriraman.supriya@gmail.com>]

That is what I did - used MAKEDEV to create the debian /dev tree but under /dev1/dev,

because I didn't want to mess with RedHat's /dev.

See below:
MAKEDEV -v -d /dev1/dev hda
create hda b 3 0 root:disk 640
create hda1 b 3 1 root:disk 640
create hda2 b 3 2 root:disk 640
..... [truncated]...

My questions are:
1. Was that the right thing to do in order to duplicate debian's dev tree?
2. How can I debug/fix the errors from the "dd" command?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev1/dev/ram1 bs=1024 count=93750
 
  Error:
 
  dd: writing `/dev1/dev/ram1': No space left on device

Thanks!

There is a MAKEDEV script that is part of the Debian distribution.  The
man page is helpful.

http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/makedev
