Thanks to all,

    Stef, i run the mount command on my system and i see what you say for
these directories (/proc and /sys):

none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)

but i don`t see a similar line for /dev except for /dev/pts and /dev/shm:

none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

Why??
