Back Greetings,
I have an USB stick which I could mount flawlessly with the command:
mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive/
today (after testing and then removing a SCSI scanner) the same command returns:
special device /dev/sda1 does not exis
and sure enough that device file is no more in the /dev/ directory!
Now: 1) what could have happened? Kudzu messing around? I don't remember doing anything myself that could have canceled device files
2) What now? Do I have to reinstall the same version of the dev RPM (with which options?) or there is a simpler solution?
TIA, Marco Fioretti
