A more viable approach: use strings instead of major numbers. Even in ufs1 with 32-bit block pointers there's 60 bytes available for this, which is more than ample. There's still a namespace management issue, but it's no worse than (and can be made the same as) the namespace management issue we currently have with driver names. -- David A.
