Hi,

After googling and searching in the mailing list archive I still can't figure out how to make device nodes in -current when devfs doesn't do this automatically. I have an external USB-drive (external 3.5" case with leftover
1.6 GB HD) from which I want to mount /dev/da0s4h. It works fine in -stable, after MAKEDEV'ing the node, but on -current I only get da0s4.


Have you tried mounting da0s4h? It may show up in /dev after mounting it.


Using disklabel on the external USB drive shows some warnings:

phys9911# disklabel da0s4
# /dev/da0s4:

disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
disklabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities


My experience is that these warnings can be ignored as long as the drive
will mount.
