Hello, I have some questions about device number extension. In Linux kernel 2.6, device number will be extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. I find that ¡°gnome-vfs2-2.2.5-2.E¡± uses structure dev_t and operates the device number as 16-bit. In file libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-parse-ls.c: 566 s->st_rdev = ((maj & 0xff) << 8) | (min & 0xffff00ff) The major device number should be 12-bit. And the minor device number should be 20-bit. But this operation considers major has only 8-bit and minor has 24-bit. It seems not to correspond to device number extension. Since I didn¡¯t find any information about this aspect in homepage of this package, I wonder whether the latest version has completed the device number extension? If not, will it be completed in the future? And when? Looking forward to answering.
