/dev/null: Cannot create the specified file
853255Apr 6 2011 — edited Apr 6 2011Hello Guys,
I've faced that issue on a Solaris 10 box, looking at the file attributes, I found:
rw-r--r-- root root null
when it's supposed to be:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 27 Sep 22 2010 /dev/null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null
The applied W/A was:
# cd /dev
# rm null
# ln -s ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null null
# reboot
I would like to know the root cause of this very strange situation, I mean, what or who changed the /dev/null attributes? How can I investigate? Is there any related bug?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Juan.
