I have unpluged the device and even rebooted the computer. However, after a reboot, the /dev/sdb* files are still missing. -- -Chuck

I'm running Ubuntu 'gutsy' 2.6.20-16-generic. the device nodes only exist as the kernel thinks the device exists. if you got I/O errors and then the device nodes disappeared, the kernel probably detached the device. so even if you made the device nodes by hand, it wouldnt matter as the kernel still wouldnt think the device was attached. review your `dmesg` and if need be, unplug/plug in the USB device. -mike

Missing /dev files

by Chuck Noyes

Hello, I had mounted an external usb drive /dev/sdb2 onto /media/sdb2 and was coping several mega-bytes of files to it when I got some I/O errors. Then I noticed that all of my /dev/sdb* files were missing from /dev. When I do an ls -al /dev, all the files are there except the sdb files. How can I get these back? I'm running Ubuntu 'gutsy' 2.6.20-16-generic. Thanks, -- -Chuck

Was there any particular reason for going to The Goat's Head? How was it? What distro do they use for the POS? I'm not really stuck on Tech Pizza, but it's tradition! :-) -- Rich

According to the headers, you sent this message at about 7am, but somebody called mail1.wpi.edu sat on it until 8pm. That could be a new record for mail delay at WPI.
