Hello, I have some questions about device number extension.
In Linux kernel 2.6, device number will be extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. I find that +IBw-jfsutils-1.1.4+IB0- uses dev+AF8-t and operates the device number as 16-bit. In file libfs/devices.h: 53 static inline int32+AF8-t dev+AF8-to+AF8-kdev(dev+AF8-t rdev) +AHs- return (major(rdev) +ADwAPA- 8 +AHw- minor(rdev))+ADs- +AH0- The minor device number should be 20-bit. But this operation considers minor has only 8-bit and it seems not to correspond to device number extension. Since I didn+IBk-t find any information about this aspect in homepage of this package, I wonder whether the latest version has completed the device number extension? If not, will it be completed in the future? And when? Looking forward to answering. -------------------------------------------------- Wei Yongjun Dept. of Technology and Development Nanjing Fujitsu Nanda Software Tech.
