Pending an official fix release from Red Hat, I have built a patched RPM
for 'amd' that honors the "nodev" option correctly. Both the source and
binary RPM's are available, PGP signed by me (for those that consider me
"trustworthy"), from:
ftp://linux.nrao.edu/pub/linux/packages/SRPMS/amd-920824upl102-6u.src.rpm
ftp://linux.nrao.edu/pub/linux/packages/RPMS/i386/amd-920824upl102-6u.i386.rpm
These RPM's were built from the amd-920824upl102-6.src.rpm, as
distributed with Red Hat 4.1, on a 2.0.29 system running RH 4.1 (+ all
available updates). The only change from the Red Hat distributed
version is a patch with the one-liner fix that makes "nodev" work
correctly. (I have tested this new 'amd' binary and it correctly
squashes devices when instructed to.)
