 Ruslan Ermilov once stated:
 
 => 	sh MAKEDEV cd5
 =>	
 =By the  command above  you tell that  you have five  CD drives  on your
 =system.
 
 I thought, that by that command  I request all the devices pertaining to
 the single  physical device be created  -- the 6th CD-ROM  connnected to
 the machine.
 
 => 	ls -l cd*
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,   0 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd0a
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,   2 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd0c
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,   8 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd1a
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  10 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd1c
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  16 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd2a
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  18 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd2c
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  24 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd3a
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  26 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd3c
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  32 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd4a
 => 	brw-r-----  1 root  operator    6,  34 15 ΣΕΞ 22:43 cd4c
 
 =.. and MAKEDEV build devices for all five CDs.
 
 =And it is consistent with `MAKEDEV vtyN', for example.
 
 It is inconsistent with daN*, then.
 
 =So, what (by your opinion) should be fixed?
 
 In my opinion, there has to be cdNa and cdNc, rcdNa and rcdNc after
 ``MAKEDEV cdN''.
 
 	Yours,
