The ra have a major number of 9, while rx have a major number of 12. However, cd have another major number, and that will be associated with the mi cd driver. Can we somehow get this to play along with a md cd driver?I think the idea is to create a racd (or whatever) driver and assign a new major to it.Exactly :) What do people think about rrd to match the dec device name, or would racd or similar play better with people?
I thought the problem was that it wasn't called cd, explicitly. If we can pick any other random name, then sure, go ahead. Although I'm pretty used to look for /dev/ra* for my CD anyway, so I don't really have a problem keeping it the way it is today either.
