Should umask takes effect when we create device file via mknod?
Hi all,
Currently, umask takes effect when we create device file via mknod, as
bellow commands show:
><fs> mknod-b 0760 8 1 /dev/sdf
><fs> ll /dev/sdf
brwxr----- 1 root root 8, 1 Apr 15 11:10 /sysroot/dev/sdf
But I wonder whether it is reasonable? For mknod(1), when we use option
-m mode, we set file permission bits to MODE, not a=rw - umask. Should
this also be applicable to mknod in guestfish, thus when we create
device file with mode set, umask...
