On my SuSE 8.1 system, I want to know the major and minor numbers for dev/dvd /dev/cdrecorder, /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd.

$ ls -lL /dev/cdrecorder /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc /dev/hdd brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 1 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/cdrecorder brw-rw---- 1 root disk 11, 0 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/cdrom brw------- 1 mattias disk 22, 0 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/hdd ^^^^^ ^^ major minor (fixed width fonts needed) Whats does that mean ? -------------------->~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. For the cdrecorder, 11 is the major number and 1 is the minor number, similarly for other devices.

The numbers may be different on your system.

Here is my #'s: *************** erik@eurit:~> ls -lL /dev/cdrecorder /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc /dev/hdd /dev/dvd ls: /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory brw------- 1 erik disk 11, 1 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/cdrecorder brw------- 1 erik disk 11, 0 2002-12-28 09:55 /dev/dvd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 2002-12-28 13:44 /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/hdd
