Geoff,

Sorry, I wasn't being clear.  What I meant was, do you have the /dev/dasdaa,
/dev/dasdaa1, /dev/dasdab, /dev/dasdab1, etc. nodes defined.  Apparently you
do, so that answers the question.  What shows up with "cat
/proc/dasd/devices" ?

G'day Mark,

No, we don't have device nodes for /dev/dasd{ etc.  How we noticed it was
that we had an LVM group made up of /dev/dasds1 and
/dev/dasdaa1,/dev/dasdab1

Unfortunately, this means that LVM is broken after the boot of 2.4.19.  I
know I can create the dev entries, fix the LVM group to use the /dev/dasd{
etc but from what I read in the doco there shouldn't be a /dev/dasd{ in the
first place.

At the moment I'm guessing it's a bug but I haven't had the time to prove
it yet.  I'm more than willing to accept 'user error' playing a big role
here.

Thanks
Geoff

Geoff,

I haven't seen that reported before.  The characters displayed are next in
the collating sequence, so that seems OK.  I guess the main question is,
when the system comes up, are the device nodes defined in /dev, and do they
work?  If so, then I wouldn't worry about it much.

Partition check:
 dasda:VOL1/  0X0101: dasda1
 dasdb:VOL1/  0X0201: dasdb1
 dasdc:VOL1/  0X0202: dasdc1
.
.
.
 dasds:VOL1/  0X0401: dasds1
 dasd{:VOL1/  0X0501: dasd{1
 dasd|:VOL1/  0X0502: dasd|1
 dasd}:VOL1/  0X0503: dasd}1

Note the '{' where it should be /dev/dasdaa1 etc etc.

Anyone else seen this?

Cheers
Geoff
