in solaris kernel. I traverse the code and just found how they stores the minor number<br>which is in znode's(disk inode of Linux) attributes struct called sa_bulk_attr field <br>
uint16_t sa_buftype which is of 16bit only. so, it just store minor number <br>in this field.<br>And I am failed to understand where/how the solaris exact stores major number <br>from code traversing.<br><br>so, can somebody clarify where/how the major number stores in solaris code<br>
or in znode(disk inode).<br><br>the source is available online and following link is of zfs_znode.c file having<br>zfs_mknode function... <br><a href="http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/zfs_znode.c" target="_blank">http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/zfs_znode.c</a><br>
