x=(/dev/sdC0/plan9 /dev/sdC1/plan9)

(0000000004300016 1 00) /dev/sdC0/plan9
(0000000004301016 1 00) /dev/sdC1/plan9

Also:

% test -f /dev/sdC0/plan9	# produces no errors
% test -f /dev/sdC1/plan9	# produces no errors

As soon as I put a wildcard into the test string, e.g.,

% test -f /dev/sd*/plan9
test: unexpected operator/operand: /dev/sdC1/plan9


Hope this helps - thanks!
