Description
On 2.5.0 snapshots, when openvpn starts up, it logs a "Device busy" error, but the error does not appear to harm functionality. The VPN still comes up, passes traffic, etc.

This is still happening for every OpenVPN instance (clients or servers, tap or tun) but does not appear to be harmful as far as I can tell.

Doesn't appear to affect anything and I can find similar messages in logs going back several years, so it's not new in 2.5.0.
Closing. Can revisit later if it becomes a problem.
