[Buildroot] problem when using build cache ?

[Sagaert Johan]

Hi

After some search i found that if you create a directory under /lib/udev/devices/pts  then udev will create(copy) this directory
under /dev so I think its not needed to do it in inittab.

No, but the default /etc/inittab has a mkdir -p /dev/pts

Perhaps.

The /dev/pts issue isn't directly related to udev or the kernel, simply
that devtmpfs doesn't create that mount point (and it shouldn't as no
device drivers tells it to do so).
