Hi all, An ide hard drive has failed on a server machine and I have replaced it with a second scsi drive (which will be /dev/sdb). The machine already has a /dev/sda.
On boot up the kernel appears to recognize the new disk but when I try to use fdisk I get: fdisk: unable to open /dev/sdb Fdisk has no trouble with /dev/hda and /dev/sda. If I boot rom a tomsrootbt disk, I can use fdisk on /dev/sdb and then use mk2fs, but when I then try to boot from the normal kernel, the kernel seems to recognise /dev/sdb1 but cannot mount it (as /var), and fdisk will stll not recognse /dev/sdb. Kernel is 2.4.23, fs is ext3 (compiled in) and ext2 as a module. Can anyone please help with this as I need to get this machine back up asap. -- David -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
