but /dev/st0, /dev/st1,... are not created by anaconda, even if
scsi tape device(s) is found and load st.ko successfully on
rescue mode.additionally, /dev/nst0,... are also needed.
(--> FYI:RHEL4 has "/dev/st0" and "/dev/st0" statically)
What version of anaconda are you testing against here? dlehman added
support for creating the tape device nodes in iutil.makeDriveDeviceNodes
for 11.3.0.6-1, and this should work in rescue mode as well.
Thank you very much for your information.
actually, I evaluated RHEL5 so anaconda version is "11.1.2.36".
and I checked iutil.makeDriveDeivceNodes in CVS and then found
the following.
tapeDrives = isys.tapeDriveList()
for drive in tapeDrives:
isys.makeDevInode(drive, "/dev/%s" % (drive,))
looks fine. I'll try to evaluate it.
thanks,
