Hi,

is it possible to use device nodes over nfs? (I already tried blindly
adding -o dev w/o any success)

For example I can't have a /dev/null on an nfs share (when trying to
mount chroots over nfs):

bash-3.00# gdf -PT /opt/build/devtest /delme | awk '{print $2 " " $7}'
Type Mounted
advfs /opt/build
nfsv3 /delme
bash-3.00# ls -ld /delme/null /opt/build/devtest/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 2, 2 Jul 7 13:56 /delme/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 2, 2 Jul 7 14:43 /opt/build/devtest/null
bash-3.00# echo test > /opt/build/devtest/null; cat /opt/build/devtest/null
bash-3.00# echo test > /delme/null; cat /delme/null
bash: /delme/null: Invalid argument

Thanks!
