Hi Frank,
try man devfsadm, it will update devfs with your new disk drives. disks
is an older command that does about the same thing.

Hi Guys,

with it go back to the atrocious quality of the nForce 4 Pro chipset.
The NICs in particular are just crap. The M2s are better, but the

I do not believe this is true, though I don't have one to test.

Also, adding a drive that wasn't present at boot requires a reboot.
