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

[Oesterlin, Robert]

This was a documented change back in (I think) GPFS 4.2.0, but I’d have to go back over the old release notes. It can’t be changed.

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.
