Hey all... I'm having a small problem with the /dev subdirectory and the device files/links for the DAC960 raid controller. From the install itself, the files under /dev/rd were not properly linked and the first reboot failed with a fsck error, because it couldn't actually find the first partition at all... I got around this by changing the fstab to avoid the links altogether, and that bypasses that problem, but now I don't have "standard" partition names for a raid sub-system. To illustrate:
Originally this is what I had through ls on /dev/rd lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Jun 30 2002 c0d0 -> rd/disc0/disc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Jun 30 2002 c0d0p1 -> rd/disc0/part1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Jun 30 2002 c0d0p2 -> rd/disc0/part2 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Jun 30 2002 c0d0p3 -> rd/disc0/part3 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Jun 30 2002 c0d0p4 -> rd/disc0/part4 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Jun 30 2002 c0d0p5 -> rd/disc0/part5 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 disc0/ as you can see from this, the links are pointing wrongly to rd/disc0/* instead of just disc0/* I've tried to look through the makedev files/devfs config files, but I'm unable to find where the config would be to change these links just to disc0 etc... I can just make a link with "ln -sf . rd" and that fixes the problem momentarily, but sometimes on bootup the links in devfs get reconstructed and I lose my partitions again. That's why I changed the fstab to instead point directly to the /dev/rd/disc0/part1 file instead to the /dev/rd/c0d0p1 as it was configured originally by mandrake install. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Sadin Nurkic
