Hey - thanks for the quick reply.
I did some research on block devices, and found that MAKEDEV was what I needed, and I tried that (in the /dev directory, though) with no avail as mentioned above... This was before I posted. So, I copied MAKEDEV in to a temporary directory, and tried to run it from there from shell:
Code:
[root@wyc412djh-1 devtemp]# ./MAKEDEV -v default
And nothing happens... Shouldn't this create all of the block device files since I specified no specific devices? Nothing is created in the directory....
And what worries me is that the file MAKEDEV size is listed as 0 bytes...
So, I downloaded the MAKEDEV .rpm for my distribution (RH 8.0), and it says that that package is already installed... Fair enough, but shouldn't this file have something in it?
Please, oh Linux gurus... Tell me where I'm going wrong!
Thanks.
