Hi, I have following problem:

I want to give vserver-guest (running gentoo) ability to create
certain device-file. So I did (in host):

# mkdir -p /etc/vservers/vs6-guest/apps/vdevmap/null

Then I started vs6-guest, without a problem. But when I try
to stop vs6-guest, I get these messages:

# vserver vs6-guest stop
  * Stopping local ...                                  [ ok ]
  * Saving random seed ...                              [ ok ]
  * Stopping fcron ...                                  [ ok ]
  * Stopping syslog-ng ...                              [ ok ]
  * Terminating remaining processes ...                 [ ok ]
  * Killing remaining processes ...                     [ ok ]
  * Saving dependency cache ...                         [ ok ]
Device and target are missing; try '--help' for more information
#

What does the last message mean? Even when I creat files:

# touch /etc/vservers/vs6-guest/apps/vdevmap/null/create
# touch /etc/vservers/vs6-guest/apps/vdevmap/null/open

I still get the same message. It seems it is enough to create
just /etc/vservers/vs6-guest/apps/vdevmap/null directory and
I get this strange message druing vserver-guest shutdown.
What could be the reason for this?
