Vadik, sladkiy, milyi,
You're spewing sodding nonsense. Please try doing that and see what you
get. If you wish, my little ignoramus, see the following:
bash# mkdir ttt
bash# cd ttt
bash# du .
1 .
bash# mknod hhh b 3 4
bash# mknod jjj c 5 6
bash# du .
1 .
bash# ls -la
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 2 marc users 1024 Sep 26 13:19 .
drwxr-x--- 29 marc users 4096 Sep 26 13:18 ..
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 3, 4 Sep 26 13:19 hhh
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 6 Sep 26 13:19 jjj
bash#
Will there ever be an end to this? You CANNOT cp device files.
