Hi,
I have 13 partitions on the hda drive. When I try to see under /dev, I
can see only 10 of them. Any pointer how can I see the others?
[root@it-dbamon ~]# ls -trl /dev/hda*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 May 4 10:18 /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 10 May 4 10:18 /dev/hda10

Partition table entries are not in disk order
I need to create the filesystems on the partitions 11-13 and have them
mounted but can't do it. The mkfs fails to find the devices
[root@it-dbamon ~]# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda11
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Could not stat /dev/hda11 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
[root@it-dbamon ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda11
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Could not stat /dev/hda11 --- No such file or directory
