Repairing /dev after accidental deletion

I’ve just accidentally:

rm -Rv /dev

(I meant to ./dev but hadn’t spotted I missed the full stop until
after I hit return).

Anyhow, I’ve run a simulation of doing the same action on a VM and the
system appeared to rebuild the /dev directory upon restart. However I
just wanted to make sure that this would fix everything or if there will
be other outstanding issues?

OS: SLES 11.1

Dev is not real… really… it’s all runtime stuff. You probably want
to have the directory in existence (root:root, 755) but otherwise it’s
mounted to virtual stuff.

Good luck.
