I don't know if this is the same, it has been quite a while. When I had to add LOTS of dasd to a turbolinux system for LVM, I had to do a 'mknod /dev/dasd? major minor', 'mknod /dev/dasd?1 major minor+1' for each dasd address I wanted to add. But I forget at what number of dasd I had to start doing this.
The other thing that just hit me about formatting dasd was lack of memory. I was using a server that had originally been set up as a limited firewall, defined with only 32MB. When I tried to dasdfmt the disk, linux ran out of memory and killed sshd so my connection dropped. When I upped the virtual machine size to 64MB, everything ran fine. /Tom Kern --- Greg Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been attempting to add another DASD to TurboLinux (OS/390).
