Check /proc/devices. If dasd shows up multiple times (not only major 94)
you are most probably running
out of device nodes. In this case you can create new ones using mknod, the
major/minor numbers of the
dasds can be found in /proc/dasd/devices.
like this:
mknod /dev/dasdabc b <major> <minor>
mknod /dev/dasdabc1 b <major> <minor+1>
mknod /dev/dasdabc2 b <major> <minor+2>
mknod /dev/dasdabc3 b <major> <minor+3>
(no more, we only have 3 partitions and minor+4 belongs to a different
volume)
with kind regards

Subject: LVM - maximum PV's?
On a SUSE SLES8 system I've created an LVM with 15 full mod-3 3390's and
8 mod-9's. I cannot get the 9th mod-9 to becoem a member of LVM. the
pvcreate appears to work OK, but the volume is not on the pvscan list,
nor included in the vgdisplay total. Any ideas?
