If it doesn't, devfs could be the problem.
No, it should not. And devfs, for once, has nothing to do with it. RAID devices (md*) have _one_ (1) minor allocated to each. Consequently, they could not be partitioned by any kernel - there is no device numbers to be assigned to their partitions.

What would be much more interesting, which kernel are _you_ using and what device numbers, in your experience, do these partitions get? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
