Mark, You are right!
It appears from the dates that dasda-dasdz were created at initial install back on Jan 25 2002, and to add past dasdz I need to do: mknod /dev/dasdaa b 94 104 mknod /dev/dasdaa1 b 94 105 mknod /dev/dasdaa2 b 94 106 mknod /dev/dasdaa3 b 94 107 ... Do you agree? Thanks!

Mark, Yes, no problem there. For example, on this system I added 120-124, with 120-123 working OK, but I was unable to get 124 working, as dasdaa was unrecognizable to the mke2fs utility, so I had to remove it to get SLES7 to boot completely.

I seem to have found a limit of 26 filesystems in my SuSE SLES7, unless I'm overlooking something. I can mount more than 26 with no problem, but dasdfmt and mke2fs will not process those past 26. Then I booted off the CD-Rom, specified just the new drives, did dasdfmt and mke2fs on them, rebooted, and got errors on the filesystems past 26. Has anyone succeeded in mounting more than 26 working filesystems? How? Thanks, Jim Rich
