I've finally decided to bite the bullet and try to get devfs working (so that
I can have lots of small (1GB) partitions on my SCSI disks (as LVM doesn't
seem to be on the horizon yet).
Unfortunately, the raid0145 and devfs patches clash.
I thought that it might be possible to remove the raid patches from devfs, but
the code shares chunks of stuff with the generic hd code, and I gave up.
[ does anyone know if the major/minor numbers held in the PSB will work ?
What happens when I go over 16 partitions for SCSI ?
Will it just fail on the pretty-printing of the device "names" ?
]
SO: does anyone know of patches that allow both ?
[ PS: anyone know why devfs presents vcs1 .. vcs63, but no vcs0 ?
This makes gpm-root unhappy :-(
Also: where can I get devfsd ? There is no URL in devfs.txt, and I need
it for /dev/fd0, /dev/modem, etc
