You might need to run MAKEDEV with the right runes - but worse, I've had to hand-edit this file to insert the right major/minor device numbers for some really high alphabetical letters. I have this: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Mar 14 2002 hda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Mar 14 2002 hdb brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 14 2002 hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 Mar 14 2002 hdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 33, 0 Mar 14 2002 hde brw-rw---- 1 root disk 33, 64 Mar 14 2002 hdf brw-rw---- 1 root disk 34, 0 Mar 14 2002 hdg brw-rw---- 1 root disk 34, 64 Mar 14 2002 hdh brw-rw---- 1 root disk 56, 0 May 24 15:31 hdi brw-rw---- 1 root disk 56, 64 May 24 15:31 hdj brw-rw---- 1 root disk 57, 0 May 24 15:31 hdk brw-rw---- 1 root disk 57, 64 May 24 15:31 hdl brw-rw---- 1 root disk 88, 0 May 24 16:00 hdm brw-rw---- 1 root disk 88, 64 May 24 16:00 hdn brw-rw---- 1 root disk 89, 0 May 24 16:00 hdo brw-rw---- 1 root disk 89, 64 May 24 16:00 hdp brw-rw---- 1 root disk 90, 0 May 24 16:00 hdq brw-rw---- 1 root disk 90, 64 May 24 16:00 hdr I think I had to dig in the kernel originally to get the major/minor devices. Hope this is of use. You can get the MAKEDEV I used to create these from http://www.drogon.net/MAKEDEV Gordon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
