Description

When running a docker pipeline, I got this error:

>info: skipping unsupported ./dev/console file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/ptmx file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/zero file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/urandom file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/null file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/tty file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/random file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file info: skipping unsupported ./dev/full file type: block, chr, dev or sparse file

is reported as an error but is NOT an error.
we should either:
- not report an error at all for this
- report this as an informational message and not count this as an error
