Did you delete it by accident, or is something in particular missing? I do not know if there is a general procedure to reconstruct the whole directory unfortunately.Best,

Hi Patrick,

in earlier times this could be achieved by the script /dev/MAKEDEV, but
it is missing nowadays.

I think, *"man udev"* could be helpful for you.

Kind regards

Joachim

I still have a MAKEDEV, but I do know how to set the device.
/sbin/MAKEDEV [ -d directory ] [ -D directory ] [ -c configdir ] [ -m
maxdevices ] [-a] [-n] [-v] [-i] [-M] [-S] [-u] [-x] device ..
devices
[b|c] mode owner group major minor inc count fmt [base]
count devices will be created, with permissions set to
mode and
owned by owner and group. The first device will be
named fmt,
and additional devices will be created if count is
larger than
1. If fmt contains a C-style formatting string, it
will be
filled with the sum of base and zero. Subsequent
devices will
be filled with the sum of base and n * inc, where n is
the order
this device is being created in. If the format string
did not
already include a format specifier, a "%d" will
automatically be

appended to it to make this work.



I think, *"man udev"* could be helpful for you.

Kind regards

Joachim

How do you mean that?

/dev is a devtmpfs file system and gets regenerated at each boot time. It is done by the kernel.

So, what do you really want to do?

Did you try "MAKEDEV -a" ? But I think, some entries will get lost after
the next reboot.

My idea what to repair the installation from another installation.
So, I mounted the defectuous installation, and I did a chroot to it.
It works except that I have an error message:
so such file or directory : /dev/urandom

Same thing when I make a yum --version
There is no files in /dev, I though that I should rebuild it

Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong. If you mount a / file system there will be nothing in /dev. That is normal. It gets populated during the boot process and really doesn't exist on disk.

If you go to /dev on a working system the date/time of the entries will be that of when the system was last booted, more or less.
