so this is my problem, i don't understand what does the MAJOR and MINOR
number works.
ok, explain , hope to find an answer ... sure about this :)
I'm setting up an LTSP environment with about 10 terminals.
i'm tryng to use ENBD for both floppy and CD on each Terminal so i
thought well, i have 255 ENBD devices on my server with different minor
number so i should have enough devices to deal with 10 terminals...
I've 2 set of devices , 1 set created by the MAKEDEV from the enbd site
and 1 created from devfsd when the enbd module is loaded.
I've tried starting ENBD-CLIENT for CD on /dev/nda and the one for
Floppy on /dev/nda4 .... but it doesn't works... i always get a message
like "device yet used" ...
The only way to make it works is to use e different /dev/ndX for each
local device on the terminal ... is this right or am i missing something?
if i cat /proc/nbdinfo i see that the device are divided on a ndX (with
the letter X) base ...
i need at least 20 different nbd device to use for my 10 Terminals ,
what can i do?
plz :)
bye
