3599	FISH: device file shows always major/minor 0:0	ahauras	zaytsev	"
steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open fish(ssh) connection
2. navigate to /dev
3. check that source minor/major of all special files is (0,0)
4. copy file to local host (as root), all files copied as minor:major (0,0)

What is the expected output?
Showing and copying device files with correct (major:minor)
OR
If it is not possible, give error (""copying special files not supported"") while copying such files.


What do you see instead?
Files copied as minor:major (0,0) and it makes such files totally useless (and possibly dangerous)
