(www.pdq.com) >Environment: Hardware is an AMI Megaplex II machine w/4GB RAM, 8 37GB IBM drives, two Adaptec 29160 controllers, gigabit ethernet, etc. >Description: I followed custom install, as I have done many times in the past. Nothing special - just initially configure minimal filesystems for boot, kernel sources only install. Later, I ran /stand/sysinstall to setup the remaining 7 drives. Problem 1: /stand/sysinstall apparently only created /dev/pass? for drives 0 through 3. I had to create 5-7 myself in order to use camcontrol on the drives. Not a big problem, but it leads to problem 2: Problem 2: MAKEDEV gets confused about how many /dev/pass? devices to make. "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV pass8" should be sufficient to create devices /dev/pass0 through /dev/pass7. Instead, it appeared to only create /dev/pass0 through /dev/pass6. I had to do: "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV pass9" before all pass devices were made. >How-To-Repeat: find a machine with 8 scsi disk drives, do a fresh install on it, try using camcontrol to control drives 4 through 7, note that devices /dev/pass? don't exist, try to create them, scratch head afterwards. >Fix: unsure - just reporting bugs as I see them >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
