No, it's not unique. driver core does strreplace(s, '/', '!') at
register time to work around such block devices. The list includes
DAC960, aoeblk, cciss, cpqarray, sx8 and probably more, but I don't
think anything widespread uses this naming scheme. IIRC dm actually
won't let you name a device with anything that contains a slash.
If you really wanted you could set up aoeblk I guess, but a simple unit
test should be be more than enough ;)
Thanks,
Ilya
