I run mdev here, but haven't run into the problem you're describing. |
| 26 |
I don't have an /etc/fstab entry for /dev/pts, so I'm not entirely sure |
| 27 |
where it's starting, but it's definitely here. |
| 28 |
$ mount | grep pts |
| 29 |
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
| 30 |
$ ls -l /dev/pts/ |
| 31 |
total 0 |
| 32 |
crw--w---- 1 misternono tty 136, 0 Jan 6 14:27 0 |
| 33 |
crw--w---- 1 misternono tty 136, 1 Jan 6 13:48 1 |
| 34 |
crw--w---- 1 misternono tty 136, 2 Jan 6 13:32 2 |
| 35 |
crw--w---- 1 misternono tty 136, 3 Jan 6 14:27 3 |

Unless it's started by mdev via "rc-update add mdev sysinit". |
| 38 |
I'm just fartin' around with linux, though, so if you need any |
| 39 |
other information, let me know. |
