Assar, I have loaded arla module to the kernel by doing 'modload' in /etc/rc.secureleve. # mknod /dev/xfs0 c 47 0 ^^ I have picked 47 for an arbitrary open number ... should it be certain number? But it complains: # /usr/arla/bin/mount_xfs /dev/xfs0 /afs mount_xfs: mount: Device not configured What should I do? Thanks. -- Concentration .. Naomaru Itoi
