SubjectSCSI st tape wrong minor in 2.5.40 with devfs
Hi,

I see a problem with recent 2.5 kernels and SCSI st and devfs.

As you can see from the output down under the minors are off by 4.

I rechecked that 9,128 (as described in Documentation/devices.txt)
would be correct for nst0 by calling mknod and *tata* the backup
would be running fine again (at least mt is working again - not
running a backup...).

So minors should be the number of the tape device and not
the number of the target counting from 0.


This is what it used to be:

bz@megablast:/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0> ls -l
total 0
crw-r-----    1 root     root      21,   3 Jan  1  1970 generic
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       9,   0 Jan  1  1970 mt
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       9,  96 Jan  1  1970 mta

[this was bk checkout from 20020923-211332 UTC]


this is what I get with latest 2.5.40-bk:
