>Environment:
Stock 3.0-971208-SNAP system. su and ssc options in kernel.
>Description:
The SuperSCSI device is necessary to perform SCSI Bus reprobes
(dynamically probe/attach SCSI devices) using "scsi -p".
This device isn't created by default.
MAKEDEV should support this so users don't have to know
how to find out what the correct major and minor for the device
is, and mknod the device themselves.
>How-To-Repeat:
(Note that scsi(8) says the SuperSCSI device is supposed to be named
/dev/scsi/super):
# cd /dev
# mkdir scsi
# sh MAKEDEV scsi/super
scsi/super - no such device name
# sh MAKEDEV scsi
scsi - no such device name
# sh MAKEDEV superscsi
superscsi - no such device name
#sh MAKEDEV ssc
ssc - no such device name
...give it...
# grep ssc /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/majors.i386
49 ssc SCSI super device
# mknod /dev/ssc c 49 0
>Fix:
Update MAKEDEV to support "scsi/super", "ssc", "superscsi", or
whatever form(s) are desired.
