I just check on a the Major number on a Fedora Core machine that actually has /dev/hdi. On it the Major number is 56 and not 35. Let's try one more time:
Code:
(set -x
# disk "i"
mknod -m 0660 /dev/hdi b 56 0
fdisk -l /dev/hdi
) >& post.txt
In fact here's a listing of the devices for the drive and first partition:
Code:
$ ls -la /dev/hd[a-z]{,1}
