[KLUG Members] oops, I deleted /dev/st2

[John Pesce]

Oops, my butter fingers got the best of me and I accidently deleted
my /dev/st2 tape device =)

I'm using Suse 9.2 and a reboot didn't detect and fix it.

I've never incountered delt with device files before.

ls /dev/st1 gives
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 1 /dev/st1

ls /dev/st3 gives
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 3 /dev/st3



I tried,
mknod /dev/st2 c 9 2
chgrp disk /dev/st2 

and ls gives
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 2 /dev/st2


Is this ok? Could something go wrong?
Can I still trust this device?
