Description

We use ALIX Boxes for our OOB (Out of Band) Solution and connected USB-Serial Adapter to the Box.
For the Serial Console connections we use the in the FreeBSD included "tip" tool like here but we get the following error:

  1. tip ucom1
    /var/spool/lock/LCK..cuaU0: No such file or directory
    Can't open lock file.
    all ports busy

As a workaround we created the missing directory:

  1. /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
  2. mkdir -p /var/spool/lock
  3. chown uucp:dialer /var/spool/lock
  4. /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

Then the connection is possible to open.

Is it possible in future versions to create this directory?

Also there seems to be a problem when you try to connect a GPS device as seen here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2443

only missing on nano since its /var/ is a RAM disk. I added its creation and ownership setting to rc.embedded
