<p>You didn't say what distro you are running but unless its really old, mknod is depreciated in favour of udev.</p>
<p>Has the system been rebooted? If not, hot swap often requires a refresh of the devices. This is often proprietary to the controller. Google hp_rescan for example.</p>
<p>Also you may want to look at 'kpartx' .<br><br><br></p>

<br>
Unless there's something really crazy going on, those devices should<br>
be in order, meaning you can just increment the numbers.<br>
<br>
A "ls -alh /dev | grep sda" gives the following:<br>
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 May 3 13:18 sda<br>
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 May 3 13:19 sda1<br>
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 May 3 13:18 sda2<br>
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 May 3 13:18 sda5<br>
<br>
Where 8 is the major number, and 0 is the minor number for sda. Be<br>
sure to specify a block device rather than a character one when using<br>
mknod.. I made that mistake and got something crazy at one point.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Rob<br>
