19 I tried this:
20 # mkdir -p /mnt/root
21 # mount --bind / /mnt/root
22
23 The bind-mounted dev/ does not contain all devices, in particular the nvidia ones are missing. BTW, I thought these were created dynamically during the module load.
24 Then, for a quick test:
25 # rsync -a /mnt/root/dev/* /mnt/new/device/dev
26
27 But it did not fix the issue.
