Re: [Ltib] Files/folders under ltib/rootfs/dev/ were not packed into rootfs.jffs2

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Quentin,

This is expected.  If you're using mdev or udev there are only a few
static files created in the image.  The others are dynamically created
at runtime on the target.

If you want static device nodes, run ./ltib -m config and select the
option for static device nodes.

Regards, Stuart
