larger dev_t ?larger dev_t ?Posted Apr 17, 2003 17:14 UTC (Thu) by cpeterso (subscriber, #305)Parent article: Managing dynamic device naming
Will Linux 2.6's dev_t be 32 bits as earlier planned or 64 bits? There was some experimental kernel patches for 64 bits recently. I think Linus should just go all the way to 64 bits. It seems inevitable, so why create two dev_t disruptions (16->32 now and 32->64 later) instead of just one (16->64)?

larger dev_t ? Posted Apr 17, 2003 17:16 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] 64 bits looks like the likely outcome, but we'll only know for sure when Linux merges a patch...
