From bc6ff39e42b7e85b3fd0fc9c0d0d82b25548a119 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastiaan van Stijn Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2022 00:29:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs/reference: run.md update confusing example name This example was mounting `/dev/zero` as `/dev/nulo` inside the container. The `nulo` name was intended to be a "made up / custom" name, but various readers thought it to be a typo for `/dev/null`. This patch updates the example to use `/dev/foobar` as name, which should make it more clear that it's a custom name.
