I agree we should not keep a list of (maybe) harmless messages. On doing 2>/dev/null, I believe that a-v-unshare runs tests without a populated /dev, so /dev/null is missing. In create-normal-user there are other >/dev/null redirects, and unshare appears to be working, but it could by chance. However: maybe this is a bug in a-virt-unshare, missing a bind mount? -- Paride
