Add Peter's list of major numbers
1996-02-02 19:12:43 +00:00
Hopefully, this list will one day be obsoleted by DEVFS, but for now
this is the current allocation of device major numbers.
For local use, you are encouraged to use the reserved numbers.
If you intend the driver to be available, send email to the
hackers@freebsd.org mailing list to see about having a number
reserved for you.

NOTICE: FreeBSD does not use block major numbers anymore, you neither
need to assign nor use a block major number for any device driver any
more.

We are developing a device driver of Smart Capture Card. Smart Capture Card is a kind of video capture card, PCMCIA type II, and made by IBM Japan co.. Unfortunately, it is sold in Japan now. The device driver is working on the latest pccard-test package by Tatsumi HOSOKAWA and bsd-nomads. Some applications are also working. For example, xscc is a video moniter client on X-window, vic-2.7b2 is a video conference tool. We have a contract with IBM Japan. From the contract, we cannot release the source code exept the permit of IBM Japan. But I think they will permit us in few weeks.

This file lies by saying 200-255 are reserved for local use, thus implying that they aren't used for the rest of the system. Fix the lies: 253 is used by mfs (bad MFS for not registering it). 254 is a magic cookie inside of the dev code in at least one place. 255 is -1 which is magic in a different way in the dev code. So, that means that 200-252 are reserved for local users. A grep for 252 didn't turn anything up, so I'm assuming it and lower are safe. And I thought I was being smart by allocating our local major numbers from 254 on down. This caused very very odd problems that were hard to track down: close not being called, sync failing at reboot, etc.

255 bad choice -1 is 255 which has magic meanings internally
