While on this subject, the description of raw devices (char 162) in lk 2.4 is not consistent with current usage.
devices.txt contains this: 162 char Raw block device interface 0 = /dev/raw Raw I/O control device 1 = /dev/raw1 First raw I/O device 2 = /dev/raw2 Second raw I/O device ...
but something like this would be more accurate: 162 char Raw block device interface 0 = /dev/rawctl Raw I/O control device 1 = /dev/raw/raw1 First raw I/O device 2 = /dev/raw/raw2 Second raw I/O device ...
The raw(8) command supplied in RH 6.2 and 7.0 assumes the latter structure. I have already alerted sct and this change may be coming through in one of his patches.
