Unfortunately, the "splice" program requires a /dev/splice file which does not exist. I assumed by adding the pseudo-device sp 10 line into the kernel configuration/rebuild this file would get built, but no such luck. I run: # splice -u 0 /dev/sd1c /dev/sd3c splice: /dev/splice: No such file or directory Anybody know how to create a /dev/splice file? I assume one needs to run "mknod" and then "MAKEDEV" but I know not the correct major number nor any of the other args. Any help would be appreciated, as BSDI tech support is out for the weekend. TIA, -Kevin
