Hmmm... there is no /hurd/storeio hd1 entry here either. Since you created /dev/hd1 with MAKEDEV (did you, right?) starting the translator with settrans should have touched /dev/hd1 and automatically started '/hurd/storeio hd1'. Even if the /hurd/isofs translator dies after that, the /hurd/storeio on hd1 should be still running anyway. Did you try a simple 'ls -l /dev/hd1'? With -l, ls would call stat() on that node and should start the translator anyway. If there is no hd1 or if /hurd/storeio didn't start after this, I'd suspect that /dev/hd1 was not setup properly. Just redo: #cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV hd1 and try again. > I installed the big tarball 20000925.tar.gz Regards, -Farid. -- Farid Hajji -- Unix Systems and Network Admin | Phone: +49-2131-67-555 Broicherdorfstr. 83, D-41564 Kaarst, Germany | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + - - - - - - - - - - - - Murphy's Law fails only when you try to demonstrate it, and thus succeeds.
