devfs symlink over device doesn't work
- From: Stef Walter <stef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

After deleting a device in devfs, any symlink placed over it results in
ENOENT.
# cd /dev
# rm console
# touch /var/log/console
# ln -s /var/log/console console
# ls -l console
ls: console: No such file or directory
I'd like to fix this behavior. Or is there a reason for it that I'm not
seeing?
Reasoning:
I'm using devfs in jails, and I'd like anything written (by user space
programs, syslogd, etc...) to /dev/console to go to a file in the jail.
So at jail startup I'd like to put a symlink over /dev/console to a
normal file.
Cheers,
Stef Walter
