udev, kfloppy and floppy devices
As the kernel only reports fdN, udev only creates the main device.
To create the others I would need to write a dev.d script.
Should I do this? Are these devices still valid or are they deprecated?
(IIRC there is an IOCTL interface too, isn't it?)

Subject: Bug#273890: udev doesn't create all nodes necessary for floppy-drives
Reply-To: Roman Kreisel <roman.kreisel@web.de>, 273890@bugs.debian.org

Package: udev
Version: 0.031-2
Severity: important
On my Debian Sid, udev doesn't create all the /dev/fd0*-device-nodes
which are necessary for some programs.
This renders at least one package (kfloppy) unusable with udev,
therefore I set the severity to "important". (See also Bug #264924)
Below you can find a list of the devicenodes which should be in /dev
(and are in /.dev) and the devicenode which was created by udev.
