*** Bug 134388 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is it possible to track access to a device node? I would try to find out why /dev/null is deleted and recreated as empty file. The machine is currently not usable. not really unless you run a script that just keeps checking /dev/null status try running this as root: echo 'extern int i; int main(){int j = i;}' | gcc -x c -o /dev/null - your /dev/null should still be there @#3: /dev/null is still there. I've created a small shell script which deletes and recreates /dev/null if it's not a device node. The script ist started every minute via cron. Thats just a silly workaround to make system usable till we found the bug. historically, the only things found to eat /dev/null were binutils/gcc and that was while running `emerge` as root |
