Re: How to Add New SCSI Disk



SCO "auditing" will not reveal information
about disks in the system logs?
That would be quite handy for actually
using mknod/mkdev without docs.
Sheesh! How utterly pathetic, SCO!

Thank you, Jean-Pierre!

System auditing has nothing do do with adding disks.

In short, you run 'mkdev hd', link a new kernel, reboot, and run 'mkdev
hd' again.
