Hi,
I was hit by a strange issue while benchmarking: I was copying some
large files to /dev/null and that was failing.
In fact, busybox cp foo /dev/null (and even cat foo > /dev/null) are
transforming the target in a regular file, with increasing size.At the
end devtmpfs was full...
After som eresearch I discovered that strange Busybox configuration option
ENABLE_FEATURE_NON_POSIX_CP.
Guess what? It is ENABLED in oe-core!
http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-core/busybox/busybox/defconfig#n113
Now, do we really want it enabled by default?
Cheers
Andrea
P.S. I agree with https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=27235
