Re: /dev permissions after reboot (and panic)
:Yeah, I've tried a bunch of sync's before the reboot. I've even seen this
:happen hours after a MAKEDEV.

:That was with no patches...just straight-up HEAD. I'm compiling up a
:new kernel with the SOCKBUF_DEBUG patchset right now, and I'll see if
:that warning goes away. I'll also try turning off softupdates and see
:what happens.

I lost the 'w' permissions on my /dev/null once about two months ago
after rebooting my workstation (a single cpu machine), after an
installworld.
My best guess was that it was a buffer flushing problem but it couldn't
be if it can occur hours after the operation, so maybe its an inode
update flag issue. pure inode updates (i.e. just changing the
permissions on a file) are implemented by setting a flag in the
in-memory inode structure rather then by dirtying a buffer. Those are
supposed to be flushed every 30 seconds and of course on unmount, I will
check the vnode/inode termination paths to make sure such inodes are
properly flushed.
