Package: makedev
Version: 2.3.1-58
Severity: wishlist



-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.2
Kernel Version: Linux nbd.it.uc3m.es 2.6.0-test2-SMP #2 SMP Tue Jul 29 21:21:57 
CEST 2003 i686 unknown

Versions of the packages makedev depends on:
ii  base-passwd    3.1.10         Debian Base System Password/Group Files


For the enbd package (see debian unstable, etc.) I need the following
pattern of device nodes on block major 43, with minors as indicated:


      nda     0
      nda1    1
      nda2    2
      ...
      nda15   15
      ndb     16
      ndb1    17
      ndb2    18
      ...
      ndb15   31
      ndc     32
      ...

I guess you can stop at ndd15 for normal use. But all 256 minors are
potentially used, and there are people who use them.

The naming scheme is

   FOO<letter>[numbers]

and is needed by the client software. I'm not strict about FOO = nd, 
but I've never tried anything else.

Under devfs, this transforms to names like

   nd/a/disc
   nd/a/1
   nd/a/2
   ...

Implementing this scheme in makedev would allow me to use MAKEDEV at
package installation for enbd, and hence get a bug off my back.
