Re: about /dev/fd



You're not missing anything. /dev/fd is a virtual directory containing the open file descriptors for the current process.

man mount_fdesc

I have seen that in my /dev/fd directory I have only four files: /dev/fd/0...../dev/fd/3,
instead all my friends have six files /dev/fd/0...../dev/fd/5.
Does anyone know if this is a bad symptom for my file system, and eventually how I can reestablish the missing files?
