Dynamic detection and building of /dev tree will not work for me, unfortunately! This /dev tree is intended to be loaded on an embedded system that has Debian. I am building a debian linux system on RedHat (RHEL 4) and loading it on the embedded box. That is why I am trying to simulate the /dev tree that I will need on the target Debian box. Is there a way I can do this? I made a /dev1/dev and created a tree. Will that work? The dd command failed, so there must be something I am missing or doing wrong.

I think you need to look at udev. There was a recent post about this. RedHat dynamically builds the /dev tree based on actual hardware detect rather than just having a tone of dev nodes precreated. this might help: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/features/udev/ > > But, now I this command fails: > > dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev1/dev/ram1 bs=1024 count=93750 > > Error: > > dd: writing `/dev1/dev/ram1': No space left on device > > 16385+0 records in > 16384+0 records out > > $ df -h /dev > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > - 8.0G 152K 8.0G 1% /dev > $ df -h /dev1 > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 > 49G 6.4G 40G 14% / > $ df -k /dev > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > - 8287176 152 8287024 1% /dev > $ df -k /dev1 > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 > 50412228 6664212 41187200 14% / > $ df -i /dev > Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on > - 195044 246 194798 1% /dev > $ df -i /dev1 > Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on > /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 > 6406144 182281 6223863 3% / > Is it because of dev1's filesystem, or where it is mounted? > > How can I create a debian devices tree? > > Thanks, > Supriya > > n 1/8/07, Rilindo Foster <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >I am not sure if I got your question right - do you want to implement > >apt-get on Red Hat OS? > > > >On Jan 8, 2007, at 12:10 PM, Supriya Sriraman wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> Does anyone know how I can package a debian system (/dev et cetera) on > >> RedHat OS? > >> I need to package for a system that is running embedded debian. > >> > >> If you don't know but know of a mailing list that addresses this, > >> please let > >> me know. > >> > >> Thanks! > >> Supriya > >> -- > >> redhat-list mailing list > >> unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > >> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > >-- > >redhat-list mailing list > >unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
