LINUX ALLOCATED DEVICES (2.6+ version)

Maintained by Torben Mathiasen <device@lanana.org>

Last revised: 15 May 2006

This list is the Linux Device List, the official registry of allocated
device numbers and /dev directory nodes for the Linux operating
system.

The latest version of this list is available from
http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/ or
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/device-list/.  This version may be
newer than the one distributed with the Linux kernel.

The LaTeX version of this document is no longer maintained.

This document is included by reference into the Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard (FHS).	 The FHS is available from http://www.pathname.com/fhs/.

Allocations marked (68k/Amiga) apply to Linux/68k on the Amiga
platform only.	Allocations marked (68k/Atari) apply to Linux/68k on
the Atari platform only.

The symbol {2.6} means the allocation is obsolete and scheduled for
removal once kernel version 2.6 (or equivalent) is released. Some of these
allocations have already been removed.

This document is in the public domain.	The author requests, however,
that semantically altered versions are not distributed without
permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without
an unreasonable effort.

In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at
least not without contacting me first.

I do not have any information about these devices beyond what appears
on this list.  Any such information requests will be deleted without
reply.

**** DEVICE DRIVERS AUTHORS PLEASE READ THIS ****

To have a major number allocated, or a minor number in situations
where that applies (e.g. busmice), please contact me with the
appropriate device information.	 Also, if you have additional
information regarding any of the devices listed below, or if I have
made a mistake, I would greatly appreciate a note.

I do, however, make a few requests about the nature of your report.
This is necessary for me to be able to keep this list up to date and
correct in a timely manner.  First of all, *please* send it to the
correct address... <device@lanana.org>.  I receive hundreds of email
messages a day, so mail sent to other addresses may very well get lost
in the avalanche.  Please put in a descriptive subject, so I can find
your mail again should I need to.  Too many people send me email
saying just "device number request" in the subject.

Second, please include a description of the device *in the same format
as this list*.	The reason for this is that it is the only way I have
found to ensure I have all the requisite information to publish your
device and avoid conflicts.

Third, please don't assume that the distributed version of the list is
up to date.  Due to the number of registrations I have to maintain it
in "batch mode", so there is likely additional registrations that
haven't been listed yet.

Finally, sometimes I have to play "namespace police."  Please don't be
offended.  I often get submissions for /dev names that would be bound
to cause conflicts down the road.  I am trying to avoid getting in a
situation where we would have to suffer an incompatible forward
change.  Therefore, please consult with me *before* you make your
device names and numbers in any way public, at least to the point
where it would be at all difficult to get them changed.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

0		Unnamed devices (e.g. non-device mounts)
		  0 = reserved as null device number
		See block major 144, 145, 146 for expansion areas.

1 char	Memory devices
		  1 = /dev/mem		Physical memory access
		  2 = /dev/kmem		Kernel virtual memory access
		  3 = /dev/null		Null device
		  4 = /dev/port		I/O port access
		  5 = /dev/zero		Null byte source
		  6 = /dev/core		OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/kcore
		  7 = /dev/full		Returns ENOSPC on write
		  8 = /dev/random	Nondeterministic random number gen.
		  9 = /dev/urandom	Faster, less secure random number gen.
		 10 = /dev/aio		Asyncronous I/O notification interface
		 11 = /dev/kmsg		Writes to this come out as printk's
  1 block	RAM disk
		  0 = /dev/ram0		First RAM disk
		  1 = /dev/ram1		Second RAM disk
		    ...
		250 = /dev/initrd	Initial RAM disk {2.6}

Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here.
		/dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded
		by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for
		the initrd.

2 char	Pseudo-TTY masters
		  0 = /dev/ptyp0	First PTY master
		  1 = /dev/ptyp1	Second PTY master
		    ...
		255 = /dev/ptyef	256th PTY master

Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:
		* Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";
		* the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating
		  the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
		* the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
		  the position within the series.

These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
		devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY
		master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on
		demand.
  
  2 block	Floppy disks
		  0 = /dev/fd0		Controller 0, drive 0, autodetect
		  1 = /dev/fd1		Controller 0, drive 1, autodetect
		  2 = /dev/fd2		Controller 0, drive 2, autodetect
		  3 = /dev/fd3		Controller 0, drive 3, autodetect
		128 = /dev/fd4		Controller 1, drive 0, autodetect
		129 = /dev/fd5		Controller 1, drive 1, autodetect
		130 = /dev/fd6		Controller 1, drive 2, autodetect
		131 = /dev/fd7		Controller 1, drive 3, autodetect

To specify format, add to the autodetect device number:
		  0 = /dev/fd?		Autodetect format
		  4 = /dev/fd?d360	5.25"  360K in a 360K  drive(1)
		 20 = /dev/fd?h360	5.25"  360K in a 1200K drive(1)
		 48 = /dev/fd?h410	5.25"  410K in a 1200K drive
		 64 = /dev/fd?h420	5.25"  420K in a 1200K drive
		 24 = /dev/fd?h720	5.25"  720K in a 1200K drive
		 80 = /dev/fd?h880	5.25"  880K in a 1200K drive(1)
		  8 = /dev/fd?h1200	5.25" 1200K in a 1200K drive(1)
		 40 = /dev/fd?h1440	5.25" 1440K in a 1200K drive(1)
		 56 = /dev/fd?h1476	5.25" 1476K in a 1200K drive
		 72 = /dev/fd?h1494	5.25" 1494K in a 1200K drive
		 92 = /dev/fd?h1600	5.25" 1600K in a 1200K drive(1)

12 = /dev/fd?u360	3.5"   360K Double Density(2)
		 16 = /dev/fd?u720	3.5"   720K Double Density(1)
		120 = /dev/fd?u800	3.5"   800K Double Density(2)
		 52 = /dev/fd?u820	3.5"   820K Double Density
		 68 = /dev/fd?u830	3.5"   830K Double Density
		 84 = /dev/fd?u1040	3.5"  1040K Double Density(1)
		 88 = /dev/fd?u1120	3.5"  1120K Double Density(1)
		 28 = /dev/fd?u1440	3.5"  1440K High Density(1)
		124 = /dev/fd?u1600	3.5"  1600K High Density(1)
		 44 = /dev/fd?u1680	3.5"  1680K High Density(3)
		 60 = /dev/fd?u1722	3.5"  1722K High Density
		 76 = /dev/fd?u1743	3.5"  1743K High Density
		 96 = /dev/fd?u1760	3.5"  1760K High Density
		116 = /dev/fd?u1840	3.5"  1840K High Density(3)
		100 = /dev/fd?u1920	3.5"  1920K High Density(1)
		 32 = /dev/fd?u2880	3.5"  2880K Extra Density(1)
		104 = /dev/fd?u3200	3.5"  3200K Extra Density
		108 = /dev/fd?u3520	3.5"  3520K Extra Density
		112 = /dev/fd?u3840	3.5"  3840K Extra Density(1)

36 = /dev/fd?CompaQ	Compaq 2880K drive; obsolete?

(1) Autodetectable format
		(2) Autodetectable format in a Double Density (720K) drive only
		(3) Autodetectable format in a High Density (1440K) drive only

NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
		signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
		5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
		(any model, u).	 The use of the capital letters D, H
		and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
		the drive type is insignificant for these devices.

3 char	Pseudo-TTY slaves
		  0 = /dev/ttyp0	First PTY slave
		  1 = /dev/ttyp1	Second PTY slave
		    ...
		255 = /dev/ttyef	256th PTY slave

These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
		devices are on major 136 and above.

3 block	First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
		  0 = /dev/hda		Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
		 64 = /dev/hdb		Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)

For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
		  0 = /dev/hd?		Whole disk
		  1 = /dev/hd?1		First partition
		  2 = /dev/hd?2		Second partition
		    ...
		 63 = /dev/hd?63	63rd partition

For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
		partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
		Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
		appropriate to their respective architectures.

4 char	TTY devices
		  0 = /dev/tty0		Current virtual console

1 = /dev/tty1		First virtual console
		    ...
		 63 = /dev/tty63	63rd virtual console
		 64 = /dev/ttyS0	First UART serial port
		    ...
		255 = /dev/ttyS191	192nd UART serial port

UART serial ports refer to 8250/16450/16550 series devices.

Older versions of the Linux kernel used this major
		number for BSD PTY devices.  As of Linux 2.1.115, this
		is no longer supported.	 Use major numbers 2 and 3.

4 block	Aliases for dynamically allocated major devices to be used
		when its not possible to create the real device nodes
		because the root filesystem is mounted read-only.

0 = /dev/root

5 char	Alternate TTY devices
		  0 = /dev/tty		Current TTY device
		  1 = /dev/console	System console
		  2 = /dev/ptmx		PTY master multiplex
		 64 = /dev/cua0		Callout device for ttyS0
		    ...
		255 = /dev/cua191	Callout device for ttyS191

(5,1) is /dev/console starting with Linux 2.1.71.  See
		the section on terminal devices for more information
		on /dev/console.

6 char	Parallel printer devices
		  0 = /dev/lp0		Parallel printer on parport0
		  1 = /dev/lp1		Parallel printer on parport1
		    ...

Current Linux kernels no longer have a fixed mapping
		between parallel ports and I/O addresses.  Instead,
		they are redirected through the parport multiplex layer.

7 char	Virtual console capture devices
		  0 = /dev/vcs		Current vc text contents
		  1 = /dev/vcs1		tty1 text contents
		    ...
		 63 = /dev/vcs63	tty63 text contents
		128 = /dev/vcsa		Current vc text/attribute contents
		129 = /dev/vcsa1	tty1 text/attribute contents
		    ...
		191 = /dev/vcsa63	tty63 text/attribute contents
	
		NOTE: These devices permit both read and write access.

7 block	Loopback devices
		  0 = /dev/loop0	First loop device
		  1 = /dev/loop1	Second loop device
		    ...

The loop devices are used to mount filesystems not
		associated with block devices.	The binding to the
		loop devices is handled by mount(8) or losetup(8).

8 block	SCSI disk devices (0-15)
		  0 = /dev/sda		First SCSI disk whole disk
		 16 = /dev/sdb		Second SCSI disk whole disk
		 32 = /dev/sdc		Third SCSI disk whole disk
		    ...
		240 = /dev/sdp		Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk

Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
		disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
		partitions is 15.

9 char	SCSI tape devices
		  0 = /dev/st0		First SCSI tape, mode 0
		  1 = /dev/st1		Second SCSI tape, mode 0
		    ...
		 32 = /dev/st0l		First SCSI tape, mode 1
		 33 = /dev/st1l		Second SCSI tape, mode 1
		    ...
		 64 = /dev/st0m		First SCSI tape, mode 2
		 65 = /dev/st1m		Second SCSI tape, mode 2
		    ...
		 96 = /dev/st0a		First SCSI tape, mode 3
		 97 = /dev/st1a		Second SCSI tape, mode 3
		      ...
		128 = /dev/nst0		First SCSI tape, mode 0, no rewind
		129 = /dev/nst1		Second SCSI tape, mode 0, no rewind
		    ...
		160 = /dev/nst0l	First SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
		161 = /dev/nst1l	Second SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
		    ...
		192 = /dev/nst0m	First SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
		193 = /dev/nst1m	Second SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
		    ...
		224 = /dev/nst0a	First SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
		225 = /dev/nst1a	Second SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
		    ...

"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
		automatic rewind on device close.  The MTREW or MTOFFL
		ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
		the device used to access it.

9 block	Metadisk (RAID) devices
		  0 = /dev/md0		First metadisk group
		  1 = /dev/md1		Second metadisk group
		    ...

The metadisk driver is used to span a
		filesystem across multiple physical disks.

The OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tapes do not support the
		standard SCSI SASD command set and therefore need
		their own driver "osst". Note that the IDE, USB (and
		maybe ParPort) versions may be driven via ide-scsi or
		usb-storage SCSI emulation and this osst device and
		driver as well.  The ADR-x0 drives are QIC-157
		compliant and don't need osst.

****	ADDITIONAL /dev DIRECTORY ENTRIES

This section details additional entries that should or may exist in
the /dev directory.  It is preferred that symbolic links use the same
form (absolute or relative) as is indicated here.  Links are
classified as "hard" or "symbolic" depending on the preferred type of
link; if possible, the indicated type of link should be used.

Compulsory links

These links should exist on all systems:

/dev/fd		/proc/self/fd	symbolic	File descriptors
/dev/stdin	fd/0		symbolic	stdin file descriptor
/dev/stdout	fd/1		symbolic	stdout file descriptor
/dev/stderr	fd/2		symbolic	stderr file descriptor
/dev/nfsd	socksys		symbolic	Required by iBCS-2
/dev/X0R	null		symbolic	Required by iBCS-2

Note: /dev/X0R is <letter X>-<digit 0>-<letter R>.
