Question to all:

Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, but I wonder - what would happen if I
just either deleted the entire /dev/disk directory, or at least some
part(s) of it.

After all, it just seems to be full of various zero-byte files.  Would the
/dev/disk directory just rebuild itself upon reboot, hopefully with
"correct" files?
