[comp.sys.apollo] scsi disk mounted device name

etb@milton.u.washington.edu (Eric Bushnell) (06/02/91)

I've noticed that the mounted disk devices on the
400 series nodes show up as /dev/wn96a. I haven't
seen anything in /dev but wn0a, however. And when
I was messing with mounting volumes after booting
diskless, I noticed that /dev/wn0a seemed to mount--
the file system was accessible--but it didn't
show up as a mounted device, and unmounting by any
name seemed to be a problem (I crashed the node
through other foolishness before I made any progress
unmounting the disk 8-).

I presume this is a side-effect of the newer disks
being SCSI devices. Can someone explain what's
happening?

Thanks,
