Hi - I'm trying to extract a cramfs image built from a Linux system under W=
indows using cygwin. I have a Vista OS and have installed the latest curren=
t cygwin build. I'm a "windows guy" and have little knowledge of Linux.
=20
I start up a bash shell and run "cramfsck -v -x test rootfs" which all goes=
 well until I get:
=20
s 0666         0     0:0   test/dev/log
cramfsck: mknod failed: test/dev/log: Invalid argument
=20
which looks to me like mknod doesn't like creating socket files? Now from w=
hat little I can figure out, mknod uses some sort of device table to know w=
hat sort of things it can create? and maybe sockets isn't one of them? Can =
someone please help me to try to figure out what I need to get this working=
? also, I don't have a /dev/log folder - could that be an issue?
=20
Thanks for any help,
John
