Hi, there,
I accidentally deleted /dev/sdc.
Would someone please tell me how to create it back.

Is it by using 'mknod'? What would be the MAJOR and MINOR
be? I think the type is 8.

Thanks in advance!

Two ways:

1) cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV sdc

man MAKEDEV for more info. For instance "./MAKEDEV -S sdc", will show you
what it will do without actually doing it.

2) mknod -m 0660 /dev/sdc b 8 32
chown root.root /dev/sdc

(I actually got the above from running MAKEDEV with the -S option).
