hello

I need to create some sd* devices for usb disks but somehow MAKEDEV is
nowhere to be found


root(a)slack_server:/dev# locate MAKEDEV
/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/MAKEDEV
/usr/man/man8/MAKEDEV.8.gz
root(a)slack_server:/dev#

I went through /dev dir also. There is no script.

Is it ok or I do sth wrong?

Thank you

You find it in the "a/devs" package.

But "udev" deletes the program - I've moved it to "/usr/sbin" on my
system.

It is. Some devices have to be present before "udev" runs, and "udev"
doesn't make all necessary devices (p.e. ISDN devices).

Then copy them to /lib/udev/devices/ and you won't have to make them
manually any more.
