I've made a little script that create the devices:
but I'am still unable to partition anything.
when I do:
# fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0
I got a "Unable to open /dev/rd/c0d0" !
# ls -al /dev/rd/s0d0 says:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 48, 0 Jul 31 15:46 /dev/rd/c0d0
I am a bit deconcerted... So if you have any suggestion ?
better script or something that works...
Thanks Pierre.
ps: the bash script...
<bash>
#!/bin/sh
# Script de cr�ation des raid devices associ�s au DAC960
# PBo: 31-07-2003 ###############################
for c in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
i=0
for d in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
`mknod "c"$c"d"$d "b" 48 $i`
i=$(($i + 1))
for p in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
`mknod "c"$c"d"$d"p"$p "b" 48 $i`
i=$(($i + 1))
done
done
done
echo "C'est fait..."
</bash>
