Hello from a new subscriber I find that the 'raw' command (bind a block i/o device to a raw device node [major 162]) doesn't work on my Suse/s390 distribution;
2.4.7-SuSE-SMP #1 SMP Wed Apr 3 16:16:11 CEST 2002 s390 unknown Any and every attempt to use the command simply returns the 'usage:' message; even 'raw -qa', which simply queries the current bindings. Anyone else seen this behaviour? I found this snippet on the net; === > > When I try to make a raw device for my DVD player, I issue > > the command "raw /dev/raw1 /dev/hdc", and I simply get the > > usage message. > > Even "raw -qa" just gives me the usage message. > > Does the `raw' command work if you compile it with > -fsigned-char? > If yes, they (incorrectly) assume a `char' is signed, > causing getopt() to fail, and you should file a bug report. Yes that was the problem and I have filed a report with the maintainers of util-linux. === Could it be that the 'raw' command is failing because of compilation options? Anyone know where to get the source for 'raw' (from rawio-2-29); l0002d01:/proc # rpm -ql rawio-2-29 /usr/sbin/raw /usr/share/man/man8/raw.8.gz Thanks, and regards Steve Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
