chroot troubles

it sometimes happen to me that upon leaving a chroot, the umount will fail due to some /dev file still being open.

in this case, trying to rm -rf $R can cause major havoc, such as a deleted /dev/null

restore it using

mknod --mode=666 /dev/null c 1 3

others:

mknod /dev/null c 1 3
mknod /dev/zero c 1 5
mknod /dev/systty c 4 0
mknod /dev/tty c 5 0
mknod /dev/console c 5 1
mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
mknod /dev/rtc c 10 135
mknod /dev/tty0 c 4 0

mknod /dev/ttyS2 c 4 66
mknod /dev/ttyS3 c 4 67

and

mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 8
mknod -m 644 /dev/urandom c 1 9
chown root:root /dev/random /dev/urandom

deleted sound devices etc can be regenerated using

udevadm --trigger

this could be needed as well

mkdir /dev/input
mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64
mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65
mknod /dev/input/event2 c 13 66
