[Ocfs-users] problems creating ocfs filesystem

[Vicente Málaga]

Thanks for the reply.
Now the problem is that when i make the mapping to the raw device it say me 
that /dev/raw/raw41 don`t exist and i can`t make the mknode because /dev/raw 
exist, so i can`t create the directory /dev/raw.
I am using linux SuSE 7.2 and the kernel is 2.4.21 and all the raw nodes are 
at /dev/rawXX

rac01:~ # raw /dev/raw/raw41 /dev/sdf1
Cannot locate raw device '/dev/raw/raw41' (Not a directory)
rac01:~ # ls -l /dev/raw
crw-r--r--    1 oracle   oinstall 162,   0 Aug 16  2001 /dev/raw
