Hi all, I don't know if this is right group... But: I have about 200-300 CD-ROM images, that I would like to mount and export over Samba for Windows clients. Now I do it with simple script: mknod /dev/fileN 43 N vnconfig /dev/fileN /somewhere/fileN mount -t cd9660 /dev/fileN /somewhere-else/fileN Problem is in generation of N numbers. Now, I generate them, and I get: 0x1000E0 0x1000E8 0x1000F0 0x1000F8 0x200010 0x200018 ... 0x800050 0x800058 0x800060 ... 0x2000010 vnconfig: VNIOCATTACH: Device busy (this message is generated by mount) Questions are: what is maximal number of devices I can configure, and what is the key to generate numbers for special files. TIA, Piotr Patronik
