I 've created raid4 dev file. When I do

raidctl -C /etc/raid4.conf raid4

The error message is

raidctl: unable to open device file: /dev/raid4d

I have checked the file permission, raid4 dev seem to be ok.

 ls -l /dev/raid4*
brw-r-----  1 root  operator  18,     32 Jun 28 09:33 /dev/raid4a
brw-r-----  1 root  operator  18,     33 Jun 28 09:33 /dev/raid4b
brw-r-----  1 root  operator  18,     34 Jun 28 09:33 /dev/raid4c
brw-r-----  1 root  operator  18,     35 Jun 28 09:33 /dev/raid4d
brw-r-----  1 root  operator  18,     36 Jun 28 09:33 /dev/raid4e
