I think I'm almost there, but I still have a couple questions. I made
several block-device nodes using the following commands:
mknod /dev/pda b 45 0
mknod /dev/pda0 b 45 0
mknod /dev/pda1 b 45 1
mknod /dev/pda2 b 45 2
Following a reboot, just to make sure everything was fresh, I can see
the Buslink USB 80GB hard drive using
> fdisk -l /dev/pda
Disk /dev/pda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/pda1 1 9729 78148161 83 Linux
This is the result after using cfdisk to create 1 ext2 partition using
all of the available disk space. No errors result from mounting this
device, but it is read only to root. Even if I mount it with a -w, it is
still read only. The other funny thing is the following
>df -h /dev/pda*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/pda 16G 15G 1.3G 92%
/dev/pda0 16G 15G 1.3G 92%
/dev/pda1 16G 15G 1.3G 92%
/dev/pda2 16G 15G 1.3G 92%
As I wrote before, I created 1 80GB partition on the drive. Since some
of these commands are new to me, I want to make sure I correctly mad the
device nodes and have not missed a step in this procedure. Please let me
know if you see where I made a mistake or what I have not done. Thanks
for all the help.
