After mergemastering, and if /dev/MAKEDEV gets updated, I usually just do an 'sh MAKEDEV all', then use 'ls -lt' which will list all the old and non-standard devices at the bottom of the listing for easy identification. Then I selectively MAKEDEV the ones I still need, i.e., you may then need to selectly MAKEDEV devices such as da4 and higher, vn0, ccd0, etc if you use those. I think Doug mentioned that it won't re-create your disk slices. I always do that manually for the disk where the root filesystem is located. With a little scripting, all of this could be automated. -Brian -- Brian Dean bsd@FreeBSD.org bsd@bsdhome.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
