I think they are assigned at boot time but I would have to check the sources and I am on vacation. :-) Paolo Il lun 13 lug 2020, 16:37 Sandro Bonazzola <sbonazzo@redhat.com> ha scritto:

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)
