xref: /linux/Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt (revision 1a562c0d44974d3cf89c6cc5c34c708c08af420e)
1   0		Unnamed devices (e.g. non-device mounts)
2		  0 = reserved as null device number
3		See block major 144, 145, 146 for expansion areas.
4
5   1 char	Memory devices
6		  1 = /dev/mem		Physical memory access
7		  2 = /dev/kmem		OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/kcore
8		  3 = /dev/null		Null device
9		  4 = /dev/port		I/O port access
10		  5 = /dev/zero		Null byte source
11		  6 = /dev/core		OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/kcore
12		  7 = /dev/full		Returns ENOSPC on write
13		  8 = /dev/random	Nondeterministic random number gen.
14		  9 = /dev/urandom	Faster, less secure random number gen.
15		 10 = /dev/aio		Asynchronous I/O notification interface
16		 11 = /dev/kmsg		Writes to this come out as printk's, reads
17					export the buffered printk records.
18		 12 = /dev/oldmem	OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/vmcore
19
20   1 block	RAM disk
21		  0 = /dev/ram0		First RAM disk
22		  1 = /dev/ram1		Second RAM disk
23		    ...
24		250 = /dev/initrd	Initial RAM disk
25
26		Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here.
27		/dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded
28		by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for
29		the initrd.
30
31   2 char	Pseudo-TTY masters
32		  0 = /dev/ptyp0	First PTY master
33		  1 = /dev/ptyp1	Second PTY master
34		    ...
35		255 = /dev/ptyef	256th PTY master
36
37		Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:
38		* Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";
39		* the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating
40		  the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
41		* the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
42		  the position within the series.
43
44		These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
45		devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY
46		master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on
47		demand.
48
49   2 block	Floppy disks
50		  0 = /dev/fd0		Controller 0, drive 0, autodetect
51		  1 = /dev/fd1		Controller 0, drive 1, autodetect
52		  2 = /dev/fd2		Controller 0, drive 2, autodetect
53		  3 = /dev/fd3		Controller 0, drive 3, autodetect
54		128 = /dev/fd4		Controller 1, drive 0, autodetect
55		129 = /dev/fd5		Controller 1, drive 1, autodetect
56		130 = /dev/fd6		Controller 1, drive 2, autodetect
57		131 = /dev/fd7		Controller 1, drive 3, autodetect
58
59		To specify format, add to the autodetect device number:
60		  0 = /dev/fd?		Autodetect format
61		  4 = /dev/fd?d360	5.25"  360K in a 360K  drive(1)
62		 20 = /dev/fd?h360	5.25"  360K in a 1200K drive(1)

66		 80 = /dev/fd?h880	5.25"  880K in a 1200K drive(1)
67		  8 = /dev/fd?h1200	5.25" 1200K in a 1200K drive(1)
68		 40 = /dev/fd?h1440	5.25" 1440K in a 1200K drive(1)

70		 72 = /dev/fd?h1494	5.25" 1494K in a 1200K drive
71		 92 = /dev/fd?h1600	5.25" 1600K in a 1200K drive(1)
72
73		 12 = /dev/fd?u360	3.5"   360K Double Density(2)
74		 16 = /dev/fd?u720	3.5"   720K Double Density(1)
75		120 = /dev/fd?u800	3.5"   800K Double Density(2)

77		 68 = /dev/fd?u830	3.5"   830K Double Density
78		 84 = /dev/fd?u1040	3.5"  1040K Double Density(1)
79		 88 = /dev/fd?u1120	3.5"  1120K Double Density(1)
80		 28 = /dev/fd?u1440	3.5"  1440K High Density(1)
81		124 = /dev/fd?u1600	3.5"  1600K High Density(1)
82		 44 = /dev/fd?u1680	3.5"  1680K High Density(3)
83		 60 = /dev/fd?u1722	3.5"  1722K High Density

85		 96 = /dev/fd?u1760	3.5"  1760K High Density
86		116 = /dev/fd?u1840	3.5"  1840K High Density(3)
87		100 = /dev/fd?u1920	3.5"  1920K High Density(1)
88		 32 = /dev/fd?u2880	3.5"  2880K Extra Density(1)
89		104 = /dev/fd?u3200	3.5"  3200K Extra Density
90		108 = /dev/fd?u3520	3.5"  3520K Extra Density
91		112 = /dev/fd?u3840	3.5"  3840K Extra Density(1)
92
93		 36 = /dev/fd?CompaQ	Compaq 2880K drive; obsolete?
94
95		(1) Autodetectable format
96		(2) Autodetectable format in a Double Density (720K) drive only
97		(3) Autodetectable format in a High Density (1440K) drive only
98
99		NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
100		signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
101		5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
102		(any model, u).	 The use of the capital letters D, H
103		and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
104		the drive type is insignificant for these devices.
105
106   3 char	Pseudo-TTY slaves
107		  0 = /dev/ttyp0	First PTY slave
108		  1 = /dev/ttyp1	Second PTY slave
109		    ...
110		255 = /dev/ttyef	256th PTY slave
111
112		These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
113		devices are on major 136 and above.
114
115   3 block	First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
116		  0 = /dev/hda		Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
117		 64 = /dev/hdb		Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
118
119		For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
120		  0 = /dev/hd?		Whole disk
121		  1 = /dev/hd?1		First partition
122		  2 = /dev/hd?2		Second partition
123		    ...
124		 63 = /dev/hd?63	63rd partition
125
126		For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
127		partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
128		Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
129		appropriate to their respective architectures.
130
131   4 char	TTY devices
132		  0 = /dev/tty0		Current virtual console
133
134		  1 = /dev/tty1		First virtual console

140
141		UART serial ports refer to 8250/16450/16550 series devices.
142
143		Older versions of the Linux kernel used this major
144		number for BSD PTY devices.  As of Linux 2.1.115, this
145		is no longer supported.	 Use major numbers 2 and 3.
146
147   4 block	Aliases for dynamically allocated major devices to be used
148		when its not possible to create the real device nodes
149		because the root filesystem is mounted read-only.

152
153   5 char	Alternate TTY devices
154		  0 = /dev/tty		Current TTY device
155		  1 = /dev/console	System console

157		  3 = /dev/ttyprintk	User messages via printk TTY device
158		 64 = /dev/cua0		Callout device for ttyS0
159		    ...
160		255 = /dev/cua191	Callout device for ttyS191
161

165
166   6 char	Parallel printer devices
167		  0 = /dev/lp0		Parallel printer on parport0
168		  1 = /dev/lp1		Parallel printer on parport1
169		    ...
170
171		Current Linux kernels no longer have a fixed mapping
172		between parallel ports and I/O addresses.  Instead,
173		they are redirected through the parport multiplex layer.
174
175   7 char	Virtual console capture devices
176		  0 = /dev/vcs		Current vc text (glyph) contents
177		  1 = /dev/vcs1		tty1 text (glyph) contents

184		128 = /dev/vcsa		Current vc text/attribute (glyph) contents
185		129 = /dev/vcsa1	tty1 text/attribute (glyph) contents
186		    ...

191   7 block	Loopback devices
192		  0 = /dev/loop0	First loop device
193		  1 = /dev/loop1	Second loop device
194		    ...
195
196		The loop devices are used to mount filesystems not
197		associated with block devices.	The binding to the
198		loop devices is handled by mount(8) or losetup(8).
199
200   8 block	SCSI disk devices (0-15)
201		  0 = /dev/sda		First SCSI disk whole disk
202		 16 = /dev/sdb		Second SCSI disk whole disk

204		    ...
205		240 = /dev/sdp		Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk
206
207		Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
208		disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
209		partitions is 15.
210

215		 32 = /dev/st0l		First SCSI tape, mode 1
216		 33 = /dev/st1l		Second SCSI tape, mode 1
217		    ...
218		 64 = /dev/st0m		First SCSI tape, mode 2
219		 65 = /dev/st1m		Second SCSI tape, mode 2
220		    ...
221		 96 = /dev/st0a		First SCSI tape, mode 3
222		 97 = /dev/st1a		Second SCSI tape, mode 3
223		      ...
224		128 = /dev/nst0		First SCSI tape, mode 0, no rewind
225		129 = /dev/nst1		Second SCSI tape, mode 0, no rewind
226		    ...
227		160 = /dev/nst0l	First SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
228		161 = /dev/nst1l	Second SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
229		    ...
230		192 = /dev/nst0m	First SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
231		193 = /dev/nst1m	Second SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
232		    ...
233		224 = /dev/nst0a	First SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
234		225 = /dev/nst1a	Second SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
235		    ...
236
237		"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
238		automatic rewind on device close.  The MTREW or MTOFFL
239		ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
240		the device used to access it.
241
242   9 block	Metadisk (RAID) devices
243		  0 = /dev/md0		First metadisk group
244		  1 = /dev/md1		Second metadisk group
245		    ...
246
