It should automatically the md device entries for you, at least it does with udev-045. -ryan -----Original Message----- From: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org]On Behalf Of Steve Witt Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 4:54 PM To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org Subject: /dev/md* Device Files I'm installing a software raid system on a new server that I've just installed Debian 3.1 (sarge) on. It will be a raid5 on 5 IDE disks using mdadm. I'm trying to create the array with 'mdadm --create /dev/md0 ...' and am getting an error: 'mdadm: error opening /dev/md0: No such file or directory'. There are no /dev/md* devices in /dev at the present time. I do have the md and raid5 kernel modules loaded. My question is: how do the /dev/md* files get created? Are they normal device file that are created with MAKEDEV?
