Yes, it's the major/minor node numbers assigned to the devices.  When the
/dev/dasd range was first defined, the minor numbers started at 0, then 4,
8, 12, etc.  When the /dev/dasd?1,2,3 got defined, the minor numbers were 1,
2, 3, 5, 6, 7, etc.

Subject: More than 3 partitions on CDL disks ...


FDASD only allows 3 partitions on a compatibility disk.   However, in every
case I have looked at there is room in the vtoc for more partitions.   Does
anyone know if there is some reason for not allowing more partitions on a
cdl disk?

Thanks,

Don
