Hello,

I have an external HD which I use for backup. It is connected over USB
2.0 and usually but not always (only when it is the first
USB-mass-storage device) shows up as /dev/sda. Now I have had some
problems as it did not show up in usbview anymore and I could also not
mount it. After some time I realized that /dev/sda1 did not exist
anymore. "ls /dev/sda1" gives "No such file or directory". I have been
playing around with hotplug lately and I sometimes mix up mv and rm. I
think it is possible that I deleted it. How can I create a new /dev/sda1?

Happy Hacking,
Robert Himmelmann

How do I type "for i in *.dvi do xdvi $i done" in a GUI?
