If you changed
md)
major=`Major md 9` || continue
for part in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
do
makedev md$part b $major $part $disk
done
;;
to
md)
major=`Major md 9` || continue
for part in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 \
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
do
makedev md$part b $major $part $disk
done
;;
then
/dev/MAKEDEV md
should make you 31 md devices.
