Depends. For a dos partition table, I think it's 15 or 16 per disc. For sparc disclabels, it's 7 (plus the special one) per disc. For other disclabels, it's something else. If you cheat and use LVM it's something silly like 255 per volumegroup, so you could get several thousand per disc. Of course, you'll run out of device numbers after a while anyway, unless you switch to udev. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail:ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm Ciaran I am using reiserfs on I86 system. -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Linux Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] boot partition is lost at boot up
I have a major problem. I have installed about a month ago r5 and life was running. I am using ex3 on /boot and reiserfs on all other partitions. On a system reboot last friday I lost all ability to boot into the system. I have performed the following 1 fsck -p /dev/hda(1)(2)(3) /boot swap /(root), with a super block corruption. I did install a new cdrw scsi drive into the system, while bios saw it gentoo did not. Today on furthur investagation I find that/dev/hda(1)(2)(3) are non exsistant. I CREATED THE LINKS, I HAVE A LAPTOP RUNNING GENTOO R5, on reboot there are no links to /dev/hda. I have even tried to use MAKDEV and it makes the nodes for hdxx, on reboot they are gone. Is the file/etc/devfsd.conf at fault here? I need to get this fixed as I am writing software for a college course. I will send any further info if I missed anything here or if the fstab will help Any help will be extremly helpfull and appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] question
Stephan, Nathan, Jan Excuse me a little, I tend to get upset after screwing with stuff that should work the 1st time. Now I have fixed the problem. Let me explain properly what what the problem is, I am cooled off nowg. In developing a program on Caldera system, I have moved the code to gentoo. I now created a directory tree under /usr/local name silverware with bin,docs,logs,lib/debug,lib/release etc. When scons built a new or rebuilt an shared lib, it is instructed to copy the lib to the new directory, debug libs to lib/debug, release to release. These wre not symlinks , just stright copies. In actually it was all proper, but this exerc forced me to perform what I wanted in a more relative postion as I should have done before. As things turned out I have had to perform some things learn gentoo a little better, I think I haveg. One thing I do know the worst linux distro is 1k time better than M$sludge. At this point all is well here in mudsville till the next crisisg. I still have a cupsd problem to work on and sound does not seem to work, even though the system says sound is loaded. Hmmm, that must wait a while. this program is for a directed study project that is comming due in 3 months.

Nathan I guess software can not move, copy data or programs, you must be bash or something. This is totally bull. I have te same on my caldera system and all works fine.
