Thanks to an incredibly bad streak of luck the device file for the 9144 tape drive on our HP 9000 has been deleted. I know that I need to use mknod in order to recreate it, but I must be missing a couple of steps as I have not been able to make it work. What are the steps needed to recreate the /dev entry for a 9144 tape drive? Thanks.

What are the steps needed to recreate the >/dev entry for a 9144 tape drive? I'll assume that the drive is hpib, and at select code 7, and that you want a device file called /dev/rct. use: /etc/mknod /dev/rct c 4 0x070000 If you want to be able to mount it as a file system (but why :-) ) use: /etc/mknod /dev/ct b 0 0x070000 -jem -- John Milburn milburn@me10.lbl.gov (415) 486-6969 "Work FOR?
