While chatting about upgade glitches, my major one was with /dev entries. For a variety of reasons, I didn't tell sysinstall to do anything with my second scsi drive. When I rebooted with my own fstab referencing second drive, things came to a screetching halt when the /dev entries were not found. I would have expected /dev/MAKEDEV sd1 to make all the slice entries. In fact it did make /dev/sd1s[1-4] but NOT /dev/sd1s[1-4][a-h]. I eventually did /dev/MAKEDEV sd1s1a which made them all for slice 1, but I don't understand why the simplest form didn't do the Right Thing. Is this behavior a bug or a feature? -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
