That's indeed a weird message but it's not coming (directly) from the
iodine package but from udev/makedev. All the postinst script does
is:
if [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] && [ -x /dev/MAKEDEV ] ; then
echo "Creating device /dev/net/tun ..."
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV tun || true
fi
The message you are seeing seems to come from the makedev() function
in /dev/MAKEDEV:
else
rm -f $1-
if mknod $1- $2 $3 $4 &&
chown $5:$6 $1- &&
chmod $7 $1- &&
mv $1- $1
then
: # it worked
else
# Didn't work, clean up any mess...
echo "makedev $@: failed"
rm -f $1-
fi
fi
Now, the interesting part in your error messages is IMO the
"Read-only file system" hint. Have you already checked your /dev file
system?
Cheers,
