Howdy,

I've used cfdisk to allocate my new partition and it created it as sda16 (at least, that's what fdisk -l tells me). When I check out /dev there is no sda16, but there IS an sdb with the proper major and minor numbers. Is /dev/sdb the device file that "represents" sda16 in fdisk? I'm ready to pull the trigger on creating the file system, but I didn't want to step all over my other file systems in the process.

Any help/pointers much appreciated,

Dave

p.s. Dell PowerEdge 4400 with RAID
RedHat 6.2

Checking the sd's in my /dev, they only go to sda15, sdb15 etc.

You can try creating another device if you like.
