The last time I installed Debian I had put 16 partitions on my brand new 9.1GB SCSI disk and then found I only had sda devices numbered up to 15. I read the manpage for /dev/MAKEDEV and found it pretty useless as well for this problem. They really should tell you how to do things like this, or at least have a more intuitive way (i.e. /dev/MAKEDEV /dev/sda16). Heh heh, some very interesting things happen when you try cp on a disk device (after trying everything else I tried copying sda15 to sda16 thinking it would just copy the tiny little file... very strange what starts to happen). Fortunately though it's not life-or-death that I have 16 partitions so I was able to just cfdisk 1 away and move on. > Hamish (about to play russian roulette by rebooting) > -- > Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
