Partitions on Devices?

[Boolman]

Sorry I didn't add a proper subject in the first message...so here it is again with an appropriate subject:


I have a SCSI hardware raid card (mylex acceleraid 170). I created 11 partitions on my disk (don't ask why) and my system only seems to have 7 devices associated with the disk (that is /dev/rd/c0d0p1, /dev/rd/c0d0p2, /dev/rd/c0d0p3.../dev/rd/c0d0p7) How do I get /dev/rd/c0d0p8, /dev/rd/c0d0p9 10 and 11 to show up? I tried to use ./MAKEDEV in /dev, but it says "don't know how to make device c0d0"

So I don't know how to make /dev/rd/c0d0p8 to show up in /dev/rd.

Any help is appreciated since I am now spinning my wheels

thanks

Don't use MAKEDEV with the devpts style device filesystem.
Device files should show up automatically.

I once had a similar problem (six years ago but anyway).
It turned out the driver didn't support more than 8 partitions. I was apparently the first to discover this (well I could find any information about it), so I sent a mail to the guy that wrote the driver. Next release supported 16 partitions (Gotta love the Linux community)
