Reinstall persistent special files for all the devices belonging to the
esdisk device driver:
insf -e -d esdisk
Enable legacy mode (reinstalls all legacy I/O nodes and legacy device special files):
insf -L
Find out if legacy mode is enabled or disabled:
insf -L -v
WARNINGS
insf can change the mode, owner, or group of an existing special file, or unlink and recreate one; special
files that are currently open may be left in an indeterminate state. Hence
insf is recommended to be
run in single-user mode.
Many commands and subsystems assume their device files are in
/dev, therefore the use of the -D option
is discouraged.
