Can't use mknod

[RedBack]

I'm trying to create a new volume group. It will be number 5. I have create a new directory /dev/newvg. Now when I use the command mknod /dev/newvg/group c64 0x050000 I receive the standard error;
mknod: arg count
usage: mknod name b|c major minor
mknod name p

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Is that a typo or do you have the 'c' and the '64' next to each other? They need to be separated by a space.

You need a space between c and 64.

Ditto . Put space netween c and 64
