So I'm working with the iSCSI Initiator and an EqualLogic SAN. I'm not sure when this might have happened, but it appears that the /dev/sdc device is missing, yet the /dev/sdc1 partition exists AND is mountable. Is there a method to re-create the /dev/sdc device? I cannot dd or fdisk it, obviously, but I can mount the /dev/sdc1 partition and it works just fine. Not having the /dev/sdc is messing up my multipath setup (let alone whatever else might be affected). scsi3 : SFNet iSCSI driver Vendor: EQLOGIC Model: 100E-00 Rev: 2.3 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 SCSI device sdc: 8417280 512-byte hdwr sectors (4310 MB) SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write through SCSI device sdc: 8417280 512-byte hdwr sectors (4310 MB) SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 Attached scsi disk sdc at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 # ls -l /dev/sdc* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 33 Nov 7 14:45 /dev/sdc1 Thanks, Scott
