    No, please no.

    That is already created today for you in /dev/disk/ The kernel does not
    need to do this again.

    If your distro/system/whatever does not provide you with /dev/disk/ and
    all of the symlinks in there, then work with your distro/system/whatever
    to do so.

    Again, no need to do this on a per-filesystem-basis when we already have
    this around for all filesystems, and have had it for 15+ years now.

    thanks,

    greg k-h
