0 = reserved as null device number

1 char Memory devices
|
1 = /dev/mem Physical memory access
|
2 = /dev/kmem Kernel virtual memory access

1 block RAM disk
|
0 = /dev/ram0 First RAM disk
|
1 = /dev/ram1 Second RAM disk
|
...
|
250 = /dev/initrd Initial RAM disk
|
|
Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here.
|
/dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded
|
by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for
|
the initrd.
|
|
2 char Pseudo-TTY masters
|
0 = /dev/ptyp0 First PTY master
|
1 = /dev/ptyp1 Second PTY master
|
...
|
255 = /dev/ptyef 256th PTY master
|
|
Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:
|
* Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";
|
* the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating
|
the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
|
* the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
|
the position within the series.
|
|
These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
|
devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY
|
master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on
|
demand.
|

|
|
(1) Autodetectable format
|
(2) Autodetectable format in a Double Density (720K) drive only
|
(3) Autodetectable format in a High Density (1440K) drive only
|
|
NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
|
signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
|
5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
|
(any model, u). The use of the capital letters D, H
|
and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
|
the drive type is insignificant for these devices.
|
|
3 char Pseudo-TTY slaves
|
0 = /dev/ttyp0 First PTY slave
|
1 = /dev/ttyp1 Second PTY slave
|
...
|
255 = /dev/ttyef 256th PTY slave
|
|
These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
|
devices are on major 136 and above.
|
|
3 block First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
|
0 = /dev/hda Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
|
64 = /dev/hdb Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
|
|
For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
|
0 = /dev/hd? Whole disk
|
1 = /dev/hd?1 First partition
|
2 = /dev/hd?2 Second partition
|
...
|
63 = /dev/hd?63 63rd partition
|
|
For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
|
partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
|
Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
|
appropriate to their respective architectures.
|
|
4 char TTY devices
|
0 = /dev/tty0 Current virtual console
|
|
1 = /dev/tty1 First virtual console
|
...
|
63 = /dev/tty63 63rd virtual console
|
64 = /dev/ttyS0 First UART serial port
|
...
|
255 = /dev/ttyS191 192nd UART serial port
|
|
UART serial ports refer to 8250/16450/16550 series devices.
|
|
Older versions of the Linux kernel used this major
|
number for BSD PTY devices. As of Linux 2.1.115, this
|
is no longer supported. Use major numbers 2 and 3.
|
|
4 block Aliases for dynamically allocated major devices to be used
|
when its not possible to create the real device nodes
|
because the root filesystem is mounted read-only.
|

|
(5,1) is /dev/console starting with Linux 2.1.71. See
|
the section on terminal devices for more information
|
on /dev/console.
|
|
6 char Parallel printer devices
|
0 = /dev/lp0 Parallel printer on parport0
|
1 = /dev/lp1 Parallel printer on parport1
|
...
|
|
Current Linux kernels no longer have a fixed mapping
|
between parallel ports and I/O addresses. Instead,
|
they are redirected through the parport multiplex layer.
|
|
7 char Virtual console capture devices
|
0 = /dev/vcs Current vc text (glyph) contents
|
1 = /dev/vcs1 tty1 text (glyph) contents

|
...
|
191 = /dev/vcsa63 tty63 text/attribute (glyph) contents
|
|
NOTE: These devices permit both read and write access.
|
|
7 block Loopback devices
|
0 = /dev/loop0 First loop device
|
1 = /dev/loop1 Second loop device
|
...
|
|
The loop devices are used to mount filesystems not
|
associated with block devices. The binding to the
|
loop devices is handled by mount(8) or losetup(8).
|
|
8 block SCSI disk devices (0-15)
|
0 = /dev/sda First SCSI disk whole disk
|
16 = /dev/sdb Second SCSI disk whole disk
|
32 = /dev/sdc Third SCSI disk whole disk
|
...
|
240 = /dev/sdp Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk
|
|
Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
|
disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
|
partitions is 15.
|
|
9 char SCSI tape devices
|
0 = /dev/st0 First SCSI tape, mode 0

192 = /dev/nst0m First SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
|
193 = /dev/nst1m Second SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
|
...
|
224 = /dev/nst0a First SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
|
225 = /dev/nst1a Second SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
|
...
|
|
"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
|
automatic rewind on device close. The MTREW or MTOFFL
|
ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
|
the device used to access it.
|
|
9 block Metadisk (RAID) devices
|
0 = /dev/md0 First metadisk group
|
1 = /dev/md1 Second metadisk group

filesystem across multiple physical disks.

ill effects to the system (bugs excepted.)

The OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tapes do not support the
|
standard SCSI SASD command set and therefore need
|
their own driver "osst". Note that the IDE, USB (and
|
maybe ParPort) versions may be driven via ide-scsi or
|
usb-storage SCSI emulation and this osst device and
|
driver as well. The ADR-x0 drives are QIC-157
|
compliant and don't need osst.
