mknod
'man mknod' for details, but basic usage is:
mknod NAME TYPE MAJOR MINOR
As an example, the device file for /dev/hda:
mknod /dev/hda b 3 0
/dev/hda is a block device (b) major 3 minor 0
$ ll /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Aug 30 19:31 /dev/hda
You didn't really create /dev/hda by typing "mknod /dev/hda b 3 0"
Whoops. Looks like I sent two follow-ups saying roughly the same thing (thought I lost the first one, but apparently I sent it to the list after all...) Sorry.
