Broken Symlink!!!
 

hello.....

today as i play around with my n900 using filebox i have notice there a lot of broken symlink in....

dev/udev/failed....
and in some other folder....


just curious is there going to be a problem if i delete all the broken symlinks on my N900 @ i just keep the broken symlinks without have to worry about anything????

Re: Broken Symlink!!!
 

Usually a broken symlink is just trash... but how was this created in the first place???
May be you tell us, what you tinkered with to get this directory at all, because there is no /dev/udev on my device. Did you test any alien systems like nitdroid or meego???

Re: Broken Symlink!!!
 

nope...i never test other systems such as nitdroid or meego there for i dont have no idea where this broken symlinks & folder come from...
that why i need to know is it save to delete those broken symlinks or not????

Re: Broken Symlink!!!
 

Did you look for the location the symlinks point to?
Some thing like may shed some light.

how to fix this broken symlink? will it affect my device?

Re: Broken Symlink!!!
 

has anyone fixed this broken links???

Re: Broken Symlink!!!
 

These are in /dev/.udev directory not /dev/udev directory (note the period mark before the words udev, hence hidden directory). Apart from that I'm guessing most of the broken symlinks normally link to sysfs and other parts of devpts.

I would not go about fixing these broken symlinks as udev marked them as failed, etc and fixing them may cause your device to bootloop or do things you wouldn't expect.

so we can't fix those broken symlinks? we just leave it like that then?
