But I beleive that there will be a lot more mixups like this one when we will go totally from 32 to 64 bits. > > that dev_t was defined one way (the POSIX way, so unchangeable) in > userland, and another way in the kernel. I still consider this to be > a bug. This is something I don't understand. Why dev_t is something in kernel and something else in userland?
