Hi Folks,
I'm trying to build a new 4.2-stable system these days.
It's actually going fairly well too! But I have one of
those "did I miss a step?" sorts of questions...
When I installed the whole mess originally, I had two
Western Digital 1G Caviar drives hanging around the house
(Yes, back then dirt still _was_ rocks!). And I installed
both those drives just fine. Now I expected them to show
up as /dev/wd's. Nah. They showed up as /dev/ad's.
Uh, OK. I guess. And /etc/fstab thought so too. Uh, OK.
So today I added a new, hot off the shelf Western Digital 40G
Caviar drive and wanted to dice it up as /u03 and /u04 with
roughly 20G each. I apparently successfully ran /stand/sysinstall
to do the nasty formating, dicing, slicing and labeling for me!
And I again thought I was talking about /dev/wd2s1e and s1f.
So I modified /etc/fstab to have those new /u03 and /u04 mount
points. Worked great.
But still, this whole /dev/ad versus /dev/wd things lingers...
I have a mix now... The list of devices in /dev/MAKEDEV isn't,
uh, clear here either.
How concerned should I be? Did I miss a step? Is there some
funky name correlation I missed somewhere?
Thanks!

PS -- And for those keeping track, yes, this is an effort to
stop some apparent rpc.statd hacks as mumbled here before.. :-)
