mknod_b 28086 8 1 "/sd"
send_to_daemon: 0x25eb050 g->state = 3, n = 48
recv_from_daemon: 0x25eb050 g->state = 3, size_rtn = 0x7fffdb87b84c, buf_rtn = 0x7fffdb87b840
proc 135 (mknod_b) took 0.03 seconds

2. ><fs> ll /sd
ll "/sd"
send_to_daemon: 0x25eb050 g->state = 3, n = 36
recv_from_daemon: 0x25eb050 g->state = 3, size_rtn = 0x7fffdb87b86c, buf_rtn = 0x7fffdb87b860
