[gpfsug-discuss] Missing gpfs filesystem device under /dev/

[Tomasz.Wolski at ts.fujitsu.com]

Hello All,

It seems that GPFS 4.2.3 does not create block device under /dev for new filesystems anymore - is this behavior intended?
In manuals, there's nothing mentioned about this change.

For example, having GPFS filesystem gpfs100 with mountpoint /cache/100, /proc/mounts has following entry:

gpfs100 /cache/100 gpfs rw,relatime 0 0

where in older releases it used to be

/dev/gpfs100 /cache/100 gpfs rw,relatime 0 0

Is there any option (i.e. supplied for mmcrfs) to have these device in /dev/ still in version 4.2.3?

With best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Pozdrawiam
