Hello, I have some questions about device number extension. In Linux kernel 2.6, device number will be extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. I find that "raidtools-1.00.3-7" uses structure dev_t and operates the device number as 16-bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- lsraid.c line 59: #define MAJORBITS 8 #define MINORBITS 8 #define MAJORS (1 << MAJORBITS) #define MINORS (1 << MINORBITS) It defined major device number and minor device number as 8 bit, but now major device number is 12 bit and minor device is 20 bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Since I didn’t find any information about this aspect in homepage of this package, I wonder whether the latest version has completed the device number extension? If not, will it be completed in the future? And when? Looking forward to answering.
