Re: Confusion over device major:minor numbering...

/dev/mem is a char device, whereas /dev/ram1 is a block device. The
major/minors are unique only within their class.

> 	  8:16 is used by both /dev/sda16 and /dev/sdb

/dev/sda16 doesn't exist... SCSI devices allow max. 15 partitons.
/dev/sdb is correct for b8:16.
