<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seems that GPFS 4.2.3 does not create block device under /dev for new filesystems anymore - is this behavior intended?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In manuals, there’s nothing mentioned about this change. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, having GPFS filesystem gpfs100 with mountpoint /cache/100, /proc/mounts has following entry:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">gpfs100 /cache/100 gpfs rw,relatime 0 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">where in older releases it used to be<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">/dev/gpfs100 /cache/100 gpfs rw,relatime 0 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any option (i.e. supplied for mmcrfs) to have these device in /dev/ still in version 4.2.3?<o:p></o:p></p>
