Hello,
isn't there an official major/minor numbering scheme for virtio disks?
Sometimes I see 251 major or 252 or so... what is the udev assignment logic?
Reading here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt
240-254 block LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE
Allocated for local/experimental use. For devices not
assigned official numbers, these ranges should be
used in order to avoid conflicting with future assignments.
it seems they are in the range of experimental ones, while for example Xen /dev/xvdx
devices have their own static assignment (202 major)
This question belongs to qemu-discuss.
Also added some people that may help.
