Hi everyone,
This is my first post to the list. I'm pretty familiar with Unix, but
certainly not a whiz just yet. Now, as I understand from my reading so
far, the whole /proc directory is in constant "flux" as it is the
"kernel's own" directory, kind of, I think.
But on boot-up the other day, I got a message saying that
/proc/scsi/scsi didn't exist. At this time, it is of no real concern.
But soon I will be getting a tape drive, and I'm sure it will be then!
The SCSI-HOWTO talks about how to "add" and "remove" things from this
file, but I see no mention of where the original came from.
I searched my packages pretty thoroughly, but didn't find its origin.
BTW, it is grep'd out of rc.sysinit, and that's the guy who complained.
The file must have been there since I installed RedHat 4.0 about 6 weeks
back, and now it just isn't anymore.
So, my question is, how do I get /proc/scsi/scsi back and/or make a new
one for my anticipated IOMega 2.0G tape drive (BTW, comments on this
unit?). And why did it disappear in the first place?
Thanks!
