xref: /linux/Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt (revision 37744feebc086908fd89760650f458ab19071750)
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		Kernel virtual memory access
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:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
