I ate up my disk devices with MAKEDEV all! :-( Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello; I ran MAKEDEV all because i foolishly thought i needed to do that to get my sound devices. I actually just needed to run MAKEDEV pas16. bummer! So, i tried to reboot the machine and got dumped into single user. This is because my swap and other devices are gone. Where did they go? Is this fixable? Or do i need to reinstall? ( urp!! ). My working hypthesis is that the data is still there, but that i need to relink them to locations that fsck and mount understand. Is this a correct assumption? please let me know! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
