| |
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?
