Help with Major and minor number

Hi

Does anyone know what the major and minor numbers are in Solaris?

Major numbers are how the kernel refers to software drivers. You can see them in o/p of "ls -l" on device files and such.

Minor numbers are instances of a specific driver.

Take a look at /etc/path_to_inst, (man path_to_inst); /etc/driver_aliases and /etc/driver_classes. There are a few more files...but these should be a good initial reading.

thks frozentin.... much clearer now
