Subject: dynamic block minor registration
Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 18:18:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4190FBF2.5020604@gmx.net> (raw)
Hi,
in my quest for a unified /dev/disk I found some code in device-mapper
which seems to handle dynamic block minor registration. Are there any
plans to move that code out of device-mapper and make it available for
all block device drivers?
IIRC there was also a limitation that one block major could not be
shared between different drivers, even if the minor ranges they wanted
didn't overlap. Is this still the case?
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
