No entry in /dev/ folder for external hard disk
Hi,
I am trying to mount an external hard disk using a USB docking station but I am kind of stuck.
I can see the entries for different partitions of the hard disk in fdisk -l but there is no node file created in /dev folder. So, I am not able to mount.
Something like this -
#sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdd: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf5bdf0ff
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 131 654 4196352+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdd2 654 1176 4196352+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdd3 1176 1437 2098176+ fe LANstep
/dev/sdd4 1437 38914 301031254+ 83 Linux
#ls -l /dev/ | grep sdd
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 2010-03-29 17:38 sdd
So, there are the entries sdd1, sdd2 .. in fdisk -l but I dont see any entries in /dev/ folder for separate partitions.
Any inputs on how to mount this disk ?
