So the tools pretend to let you specify the major - on 2.4 this works - but on 2.6 it's ignored by the kernel. I expect someone will fix the kernel side of this some day so it works like the 2.4 version in which device-mapper can use different major numbers for different devices. You should be able to specify the device-mapper major number at boot/module load time though, as the 'major' parameter, instead of having a dynamic one. Persistent minors, as you discovered, should be allocated from the top of the range.
