All: Does anyone know the relationship between this structure (major, minor, delta, etc.) and real device IDs? Obviously devd(8) isn't running in the MFS install kernel, but I assume the magic still happens.
Also, I don't see that major/minors indexed here actually matching a booted SMP kernel? $ ls /dev/mfi* crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 32 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfi0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 85 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 87 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 95 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0s1a [...snip...] crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 101 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0s1g crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 86 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid1 But devices.c lists the major as: { DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "mfid%d", "LSI MegaRAID SAS", 254, 65538, 8, 4 }, I'm pretty sure neither 254 and/or 32/85 are match the major on the boot/install MFS kernel. They don't seem to be related, yet when i screw with struct{} _devname, I break device detection, so it is still used in some way. I'm fuzzy on how these M/M are used in FreeBSD -- I missed the whole auto-magic assignment period during the 5x days. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
