If you accidentally unmounted the following
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,size=10240k,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noatime,nodiratime,mode=600) /dev/md0 on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nospace_cache) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime)
Accidentally did this:
umount /dev/pts umount /dev umount /proc umount /sys
Here is how to get those back:
All of this is from this article: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/plain/docs/mdev.txt
GET SYS and PROC back First
#############################
Here’s a typical code snippet from the init script:
mount -t proc proc /proc mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug mdev -s
Alternatively, without procfs the above becomes:
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/mdev mdev -s
NOTE: if you dont have mdev, then you will need to recreate each device with mknod. If you dont have mdev, but have udev, then you probably dont need to run anything as it will auto fill /dev with the devices – or you might need to ask udev to restart, or ask udev to re-read its config files to repopulate the /dev field. Here is an article on mknod and udev (and also mdev): mknod,mdev,udev
Get DEV and DEVPTS back Second
##################################
mount -t tmpfs -o size=64k,mode=0755 tmpfs /dev mkdir /dev/pts mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts # might need to run after this: mdev -s
NOTE: you will probably be okay to do “mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev” at step4.
