Thanks. I've used mknod before, but to use it here I'd need to know what the major and minor numbers are supposed to be. The numbering scheme doesn't follow a pattern that is immediately obvious to me. I wound up using devfs (as you suggested). It worked really well, but I'd still like to know if there's a Debian way to add more drive devices. Thanks, Chris -- Christopher S.
