The devices nodes for hdb are:
Block devices, major 3 minor 64 for whole drive (hdb) and 64 + partition
number for partitions
So run
mknod /dev/hdb c 3 64
mknod /dev/hdb1 c 3 65
...
Hope this helps
John

Subject: [ILUG] Creating Block Devices
Hi,
I have been "adjusting" my system over the last few days, changing hard
disk, copying from old one, adding DVD, changing cables and ide
interface etc + upgrade from Mandrake 8.1 to 8.2. Anyway it is almost
all working again. The problem is that hdb does not exist in its proper
format in /dev. It is there as a link of unknown type and not as a
block device.
How do I recreate /dev/hdb as a proper block device?
Tom Mackey
ps thanks for help re upgrading hard disc last week.
