Missing link /dev/fd

[a.tom]

While trying some shell scripting with zenity / yad GUI dialogs i realised that there is no symlink from /dev/fd to /proc/self/fd in the Pandora firmware (Zaxxon, HF5). As far as i know this symlink is usually created by udev on system startup.


Therefore it's not possible to open a file descriptor with exec

exec 3> >(zenity --notification --listen)

throws the error

/dev/fd/62: No such file or directory

After creating the link manually with

sudo ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd

everything works as expected!


Am i doing something wrong or could this be a bug?

Bump!

I'm having this exact problem. Of course it's easy to fix by creating the link manually, as stated. But udev should be doing this at boot. What could be the reason it isn't?
