Thanks Cyril for the quick reply. Yes, you are right I want to have more instances of pseudo devices which use different physical block devices underneath. If I mention the instance like you did, how can I differentiate between two different devices when doing some operation like mount, etc.
I am not sure how I can create more instances dynamically from the driver itself, Could you please give me some pointers on the same.
