diff bug?

[Ralf Dreibrodt]

Hi,

i have tar'ed a whole server and extracted it on another server.
so i had a /dev and a /root/dev.
then i did a "diff /root/dev /dev" and i got a lot of message like this:

File dev/sdb5 is a block special file while file /dev/sdb5 is a block
special file

File dev/ptyt6 is a character special file while file /dev/ptyt6 is a
character special file

But IMHO the sentences don't make any sense.

Regards,
Ralf Dreibrodt
