[Piuparts-devel] Bug#911334: Create /dev/ptmx like debootstrap does

[Andreas Beckmann]

So the underlying problem is

# mkdir foo
# touch foo/file
# mknod foo/null c 1 3
# touch foo/bindmntoverfile
# mount --bind foo/null foo/bindmntoverfile
# ls -lis foo
total 0
3857271640 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 Oct 24 07:50 bindmntoverfile
3857120264 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Oct 24 07:49 file
3857271640 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 Oct 24 07:50 null
# find foo -type f -ls
3857271640      0 crw-r--r--   1 root     root       1,   3 Oct 24 07:50 foo/bindmntoverfile
3857120264      0 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Oct 24 07:49 foo/file

please find/file a bug against findutils

and the commit message should not mention debootstrap but
something like
"""
p: use mknod instead of touch to create missing /dev/ptmx mountpoint

working around findutils bug #xxxxxx

mkdir foo
mknod foo/null c 1 3
touch foo/bindmntoverfile
mount --bind foo/null foo/bindmntoverfile
find foo -type f -ls
