Ah.., yes.., Do you mind checking my syntax, please? According to your suggestion, I'd be adding:

link /dev/cuaa1 /dev/usv

to /etc/devfs.conf, and that should be it?

Whislt I'm keen to try this out, could I then ask the obvious question, is there some reason why in apcupsd.conf I am not allowed to simply use /dev/cuaa1?

Thanks again for taking the time.

Regards,

Stacey
