Hi there, probably, this is something rather obvious, but I seemingly can't find it on the archives. I have installed FreeBSD 4.1 from CD onto an IDE hard disk (there's a Win2k and an UnixWare 7 on there, too, but I don't think that that's the problem). Since there's loads of space to waste on that disk, I thought it was a good idea to have a separate slice for /, /var, /tmp, /home, /usr, /usr/local, /usr/src, /usr/X11 (which I was to symlink to whichever version I run) and so on. What I did not think of beforehand is that I seemingly ran out of device nodes for /dev/ad..., so /stand/sysinstall put /dev/X (yes, a literal 'X') into /dev/fstab which obviously causes problems. I commented out the appropriate lines, I can boot, all seems well, but I'd really like to 'waste' the space that's still there for /usr/X11 and /usr/src, since I set it up like that... Now, here comes the question: Is there a way to get around that (Well, obviously, I could make /usr one big slice, but besides that.)? Or, was I to use a simple mknod with the appropriate numbers, whichever these might be...? Or did I slam the hard limit again...? Thanks for bearing with me, Best regards, Peter. -- --- Peter Cornelius <pcc@gmx.de> Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
