Hi,
18:07:13 4:@dionizos~$ dpkg -S MAKEDEV
makedev: /usr/man/man8/MAKEDEV.8.gz
makedev: /dev/MAKEDEV
10:07:27 4:@dionizos~$ dpkg -l makedev|tail -1
ii makedev 2.3.1-23 Creates special device files in /dev.
10:10:08 4:@dionizos~$
See man MAKEDEV:
[...]
Tape Devices
st[0-7]
SCSI tapes. This creates the rewinding tape device
stx and the non-rewinding tape device nstx.
[...]
Because it isn't st class for all [n]st* devices you must use it with
number, for example st0:
10:07:42 0:2'@dionizos/dev$ ./MAKEDEV -v st0
create st0 c 9 0 root:tape 0660
create nst0 c 9 128 root:tape 0660
create st0l c 9 32 root:tape 0660
create nst0l c 9 160 root:tape 0660
create st0m c 9 64 root:tape 0660
create nst0m c 9 192 root:tape 0660
create st0a c 9 96 root:tape 0660
create nst0a c 9 224 root:tape 0660
10:07:59 0:2'@dionizos/dev$ ./MAKEDEV -v -d st0
delete st0
delete nst0
delete st0l
delete nst0l
delete st0m
delete nst0m
delete st0a
delete nst0a
10:08:16 0:2'@dionizos/dev$
