At CTM src-cur 3429 my system works fine but with kernels of src-cur 3457 and 346? (whatever it is we're currently up to - about 8 hours ago) DEVFS no longer has devices for the slices of my SCSI disks. All I see in /dev for the SCSI disks is: /dev/sd1, /dev/sd3 and /dev/sd4 (I have three disks wired down to their SCSI id's). These are old 1.3 and 1.8 GB disks (Seagates I think) which are connected to an adaptec 1542B controller. The disks in question have a single 'a' slice covering the whole disk and have filesystems that were created with either newfs -m 0 OR newfs -m 1 (I dont recall which right now). Maybe the problem started after raw devices went away ? All kernels have SLICE and DEVFS in them. Any idea whats up ? Unfortunately all source and my home directories are on these SCSI disks so I'm having to run with my 3429 kernel even though I've done two make worlds since. Sorry I cant provide more details but the system is remote (currently) and it hasn't come back from a boot on the newest kernel (as it couldn't fsck the filesystems of course!) -- /=====================================================================\ |Work: Matthew.Thyer@dsto.defence.gov.au | Home: thyerm@camtech.net.au| \=====================================================================/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.
