I think i should create a link with name mixer with the destination mixer0, but

ln -s /dev/mixer /dev/mixer0

doesn't work. what should i do? Is it possible to create link on the file with attribute "с"?

for ex i have some links


$ ls -la /dev/net*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Dec 21 16:50 /dev/net1 -> net/sk0

sorry mistake)
ln -s /dev/mixer0 /dev/mixer

and i'm forget to say that i'm doing this

sudo rm /dev/mixer

The link with other names creates perfectly but "mixer"..

[Djn]

The right way to do this is in /etc/devfs.conf - try link mixer0 mixer .

I'm not entirely sure what the right way to reload these things on the fly is, but mount -t devfs none /dev seems to work.

Thanks, but it doesn't work for me. After mounting, /dev/mixer creates again. And it's not a link to /dev/mixer0

I add to devfs.conf
link mixer0 mixer_test and it's work perfectly. The problem is that i can't create link with the name mixer in /dev

/etc/rc.d/devfs restart ;)
