Thanks. I figured there was at least SOMETHING to
try short of rebuilding the filesystem. I'll try
it tonight or this weekend (system is at home).
BTW, I had one other idea. Boot in recovery mode,
mv /mnt/dev /mnt/dev_old
mkdir /dev
<fix permissions>
<create bare minimum number of devices for boot>
<or copy from /dev_old>
reboot
Then I'll just have 2 messed up files that I can't
delete, but at least a working system.
Of course, I may be best off back up my /, /root,
and /boot directories and reloading RH 7.0 (i.e.,
the Microsoft solution).

the -F will force an fsck on reboot.

If Microsoft Built Cars: Every time they repainted the
lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, and
you'd have to restart it, but you'd just accept this.
