Error: mount: Cannot deduce character device name for /dev/vg01/lvol03

Hi all!!! I drop for error (with a command mv) the character device /dev/vg01/rlvol03. How can I recover it? as when I type a bdf command, it shows the error above.
Thx.

Hi Jessica:

If you simply removed the device file, by standard naming:

# mknod /dev/vg01/rlvol3 c 64 0x010003

...should recreate it. Compare to your block device '/dev/vg01/lvol3'

Regards!
