When I tested gnome on my recent etch install, I noticed that it mounted my USB flash drive on /dev/sdc1. So when I run from a command line under fvwm (most of the time), I also mount the flash on sdc1. So that I wouldn't have to remember the drive name, I did the following:
cd /dev; ln -s /dev sdc1 flash I've done this for years, and it works fine. Now, though, every time I boot, the /dev/flash link disappears. And recently, /dev/sdc1 disappeared too. Now if I recreate sdc1 with mknod, it functions fine, but it disappears after any reboot. There are plenty of other symbolic links that came with the system (e.g. cdrom -> hda), and they don't disappear. What's going on? Are device files checked against some official registry and deleted if they're unrecognized? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
