:Well, when I "ls /dev/vkd0*", I get:
:
:/dev/vkd0 /dev/vkds0 /dev/vkds0a ...
:
:There is no /dev/vkd0a printed.
:
:First time I configured the vkernel, I referred to an old version of
:vkernel.7 and had to manually add 's0' to some other commands so after
:checking /dev as shown above I added it in /etc/fstab too and it's
:been running ok since.
:
:However, I've just put /dev/vkd0a in /etc/fstab and it works too.
:
:Is 's0' somehow added by mount or the kernel?
:
:Cheers,
:Nicolas
The manual page is definitely wrong, it needs to be vkd0s0a. It works
because even though the manual page is wrong, the vkernel doesn't
actually use the '/' entry in /etc/fstab to figure out what to do.
But it does create confusion so I'm fixing it right now.
