Create /dev links?

[philhu]

I am close to getting bacula running in a jail

My changer is /dev/pass1

'mtx -f /dev/pass1 slots' returns 24
I unloaded tapes fine.

Tried to make a default link:

cd /dev
ln -s pass1 changer
Operation not permitted

I am root. Is there a way to set /dev/changer to mean /dev/pass1? I have tried with and without the /dev part

That works in Centos :)

But, as you discovered, not in FreeBSD which uses devfs.conf. See http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-library.php for an example.
