Join Date Jul 2014 Posts 3 the file /dev/sda1 does not exist and no size was specified. Parted passes "Could not stat device" error Good morning! I'm not a linux guru, more of a casual user. I've been trying to get a particular game working with my Wii loading backups and as part of the process have been working with a thumbdrive, trying different file systems. I've been using Gparted. The last time I formatted the drive to Fat32 and removed it the Wii treated the drive as if everything was normal, though the information that I placed on it (.wbfs files) weren't seen by the Wii. I said "Whatever" and took the drive back to my computer to format. When the drive mounts it shows the structure of the drive and I can access the root directory of the drive (/dev/sdd1) but cannot access the child directory and receive the following error when using a gui to access... "Sorry, could not display all the contents of “wbfs”: Error when getting information for file '/media/timothy/8D22-51BD/wbfs/╝°z>╪╗│.Θ(F': Input/output error" when I try to access the directory in terminal I can, though ls gives me some very odd output... "Screenshot from 2014-07-27 11:05:37.jpgScreenshot from 2014-07-27 11:05:37.jpg" Gparted can see the drive as /dev/sdd1 and I can dismount the drive, but Gparted hangs on scanning drives after that step.

Could not stat /dev/sdaX — No such file or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? SOLUTION : When we create a partition, an entry goes in the partition table of that device. does not exist This partition table is maintained in the 1st sector of that device. During booting kernel reads the partition table and loads it in memory. Apparently rebooting the system can helps the kernel to update the new addition while booting but if you still don't want to reboot your server. You can try the partprob command fix. Check the current partitions on the kernel table using # cat /proc/partitions Run the partprobe for a manual probe and update in the kernel table. #partprobe Now check the kernel partition table using cat /proc/partitions to see if you are able to list the new partiton. I have attached a screencaps below which helped adding /dev/sda4 partiton on the kernel table. You can now proceed with the mkfs command. Partprobe If still the partprobe command is not useful to update the kernel table you can try a direct rescan using the /sys for example (replace the sdX with your drive no) : # echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/rescan « Ethernet Offloading Man Page to txt/pdf/doc/html &raq
