If you delete the file from /dev it wouldn't. But why would you do that?
I can give you a reason. That is during an install SuSE spots a swap space on a USB HD it will try to use it. Look in /etc/fstab to prove it. If you disconnect/remove the device - at the next boot time you will get an error - a red "Fail".
Not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting that if you delete the device node from /dev you won't get an error? I beg to differ
Not a /dev/file but a /etc/fstab entry The above statement comes from my having a USB HD with a small 400M swap partition (known as type 82). SuSE spotted the swap space and put that information in /etc/fstab. At boot time the USB device is not always seen by the system which is a problem for "mount" when the fstab listed device is not available. -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage: " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs: " n5xwb@arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316
