Hi,
I wrote my own block device called sbd (using code from http://lwn.net/Articles/58719/) and have currently only been using one device at /dev/sbd0. I get one major number and 16 minor numbers. From my understanding the number of minor numbers is only important for partitions. If I also want to have other devices like /dev/sbd1, /dev/sbd2, ... be supported will I need another major number or is there some way around this? I am currently allocating an array of gendisks and calling add_disk on each one. Is this the correct approach (I have some small bugs) or is this completely wrong?
Thanks, Can
