Hi Otto,

Thanks for your reply.

Uhm, that's actually a good question. I thought `MAKEDEV all` deleted
all dev entries before repopulating them, but I was obviously
mistaken. I kept cranking the number in /etc/rc.local when adding
disks (real or softraid crypto), but that's definitely not necessary.

[root@pom] # ls -l sd29c
brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 546 Sep 2 09:42 sd29c
[root@pom] # sh MAKEDEV all
[root@pom] # ls -l sd29c
brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 546 Sep 2 09:42 sd29c

OK, ignore me :) Sorry for the noise! Just adding the devices once
like you suggest is sufficient.

Paul
