virtio_blk: implement naming for vda-vdz,vdaa-vdzz,vdaaa-vdzzz
Am Freitag, 1. Februar 2008 schrieb Christian Borntraeger: > Right. I will fix that with an additional patch. This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if you want a merged patch: Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd" with 'a'++. This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now. There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind of block device drivers. I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.
