SubjectMinor numbers under 2.6
Date
Hi,
Can somebody clarify a question that i have ?

Say under 2.4 kernel, char device drivers had a minor number of int. In the
2.6 kernels, this number was increased to 20 bits from 8 bits. Under 2.6 i
could use "mknod -c major, minor".

How can i achieve something similar with 2.6 taking into consideration that i
have to create more than 255 minors ?


Regards,
Manu
