8This list is the Linux Device List, the official registry of allocated
9device numbers and /dev directory nodes for the Linux operating
10system.
11
12The latest version of this list is available from
13http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/ or
14ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/device-list/. This version may be
15newer than the one distributed with the Linux kernel.
16
17The LaTeX version of this document is no longer maintained.
18
19This document is included by reference into the Filesystem Hierarchy
20Standard (FHS). The FHS is available from http://www.pathname.com/fhs/.
21
22Allocations marked (68k/Amiga) apply to Linux/68k on the Amiga
23platform only. Allocations marked (68k/Atari) apply to Linux/68k on
24the Atari platform only.
25
26The symbol {2.6} means the allocation is obsolete and scheduled for
27removal once kernel version 2.6 (or equivalent) is released. Some of these
28allocations have already been removed.
29
30This document is in the public domain. The author requests, however,
31that semantically altered versions are not distributed without
32permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without
33an unreasonable effort.
34
35In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at
36least not without contacting me first.
37
38I do not have any information about these devices beyond what appears
39on this list. Any such information requests will be deleted without
40reply.
41
42
43 **** DEVICE DRIVERS AUTHORS PLEASE READ THIS ****
44
45To have a major number allocated, or a minor number in situations
46where that applies (e.g. busmice), please contact me with the
47appropriate device information. Also, if you have additional
48information regarding any of the devices listed below, or if I have
49made a mistake, I would greatly appreciate a note.
50
51I do, however, make a few requests about the nature of your report.
52This is necessary for me to be able to keep this list up to date and
53correct in a timely manner. First of all, *please* send it to the
54correct address... <device@lanana.org>. I receive hundreds of email
55messages a day, so mail sent to other addresses may very well get lost
56in the avalanche. Please put in a descriptive subject, so I can find
57your mail again should I need to. Too many people send me email
58saying just "device number request" in the subject.
59
60Second, please include a description of the device *in the same format
61as this list*. The reason for this is that it is the only way I have
62found to ensure I have all the requisite information to publish your
63device and avoid conflicts.
64
65Third, please don't assume that the distributed version of the list is
66up to date. Due to the number of registrations I have to maintain it
67in "batch mode", so there is likely additional registrations that
68haven't been listed yet.
69
70Finally, sometimes I have to play "namespace police." Please don't be
71offended. I often get submissions for /dev names that would be bound
72to cause conflicts down the road. I am trying to avoid getting in a
73situation where we would have to suffer an incompatible forward
74change. Therefore, please consult with me *before* you make your
75device names and numbers in any way public, at least to the point
76where it would be at all difficult to get them changed.
77
78Your cooperation is appreciated.

80
81 0 Unnamed devices (e.g. non-device mounts)
82 0 = reserved as null device number
83 See block major 144, 145, 146 for expansion areas.
84
85 1 char Memory devices
86 1 = /dev/mem Physical memory access
87 2 = /dev/kmem Kernel virtual memory access
88 3 = /dev/null Null device
89 4 = /dev/port I/O port access
90 5 = /dev/zero Null byte source
91 6 = /dev/core OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/kcore
92 7 = /dev/full Returns ENOSPC on write
93 8 = /dev/random Nondeterministic random number gen.
94 9 = /dev/urandom Faster, less secure random number gen.
95 10 = /dev/aio Asyncronous I/O notification interface
96 11 = /dev/kmsg Writes to this come out as printk's
50b1fdbd 97 12 = /dev/oldmem Access to crash dump from kexec kernel

LT		 98 1 block RAM disk
99 0 = /dev/ram0 First RAM disk
100 1 = /dev/ram1 Second RAM disk
101 ...
102 250 = /dev/initrd Initial RAM disk {2.6}
103
104 Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here.
105 /dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded
106 by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for
107 the initrd.
108
109 2 char Pseudo-TTY masters
110 0 = /dev/ptyp0 First PTY master
111 1 = /dev/ptyp1 Second PTY master
112 ...
113 255 = /dev/ptyef 256th PTY master
114
115 Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:
116 * Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";
117 * the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating
118 the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
119 * the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
120 the position within the series.
121
122 These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
123 devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY
124 master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on
125 demand.
126
127 2 block Floppy disks
128 0 = /dev/fd0 Controller 0, drive 0, autodetect
129 1 = /dev/fd1 Controller 0, drive 1, autodetect
130 2 = /dev/fd2 Controller 0, drive 2, autodetect

134 130 = /dev/fd6 Controller 1, drive 2, autodetect
135 131 = /dev/fd7 Controller 1, drive 3, autodetect
136
137 To specify format, add to the autodetect device number:
138 0 = /dev/fd? Autodetect format
139 4 = /dev/fd?d360 5.25" 360K in a 360K drive(1)

153 120 = /dev/fd?u800 3.5" 800K Double Density(2)
154 52 = /dev/fd?u820 3.5" 820K Double Density
155 68 = /dev/fd?u830 3.5" 830K Double Density
156 84 = /dev/fd?u1040 3.5" 1040K Double Density(1)
157 88 = /dev/fd?u1120 3.5" 1120K Double Density(1)
158 28 = /dev/fd?u1440 3.5" 1440K High Density(1)
159 124 = /dev/fd?u1600 3.5" 1600K High Density(1)
160 44 = /dev/fd?u1680 3.5" 1680K High Density(3)
161 60 = /dev/fd?u1722 3.5" 1722K High Density
162 76 = /dev/fd?u1743 3.5" 1743K High Density
163 96 = /dev/fd?u1760 3.5" 1760K High Density
164 116 = /dev/fd?u1840 3.5" 1840K High Density(3)
165 100 = /dev/fd?u1920 3.5" 1920K High Density(1)
166 32 = /dev/fd?u2880 3.5" 2880K Extra Density(1)
167 104 = /dev/fd?u3200 3.5" 3200K Extra Density
168 108 = /dev/fd?u3520 3.5" 3520K Extra Density
169 112 = /dev/fd?u3840 3.5" 3840K Extra Density(1)
170
171 36 = /dev/fd?CompaQ Compaq 2880K drive; obsolete?
172
173 (1) Autodetectable format
174 (2) Autodetectable format in a Double Density (720K) drive only
175 (3) Autodetectable format in a High Density (1440K) drive only
176
177 NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
178 signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
179 5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
180 (any model, u). The use of the capital letters D, H
181 and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
182 the drive type is insignificant for these devices.
183
184 3 char Pseudo-TTY slaves
185 0 = /dev/ttyp0 First PTY slave
186 1 = /dev/ttyp1 Second PTY slave
187 ...
188 255 = /dev/ttyef 256th PTY slave
189
190 These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
191 devices are on major 136 and above.
192
193 3 block First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
194 0 = /dev/hda Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
195 64 = /dev/hdb Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
196
197 For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
198 0 = /dev/hd? Whole disk
199 1 = /dev/hd?1 First partition
200 2 = /dev/hd?2 Second partition
201 ...
202 63 = /dev/hd?63 63rd partition
203
204 For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
205 partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
206 Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
207 appropriate to their respective architectures.
208
209 4 char TTY devices
210 0 = /dev/tty0 Current virtual console
211
212 1 = /dev/tty1 First virtual console
213 ...
214 63 = /dev/tty63 63rd virtual console
215 64 = /dev/ttyS0 First UART serial port
216 ...
217 255 = /dev/ttyS191 192nd UART serial port
218
219 UART serial ports refer to 8250/16450/16550 series devices.
220
221 Older versions of the Linux kernel used this major
222 number for BSD PTY devices. As of Linux 2.1.115, this
223 is no longer supported. Use major numbers 2 and 3.
224
225 4 block Aliases for dynamically allocated major devices to be used
226 when its not possible to create the real device nodes
227 because the root filesystem is mounted read-only.
228
229 0 = /dev/root
230
231 5 char Alternate TTY devices
232 0 = /dev/tty Current TTY device
233 1 = /dev/console System console
234 2 = /dev/ptmx PTY master multiplex
235 64 = /dev/cua0 Callout device for ttyS0
236 ...
237 255 = /dev/cua191 Callout device for ttyS191
238
239 (5,1) is /dev/console starting with Linux 2.1.71. See
240 the section on terminal devices for more information
241 on /dev/console.
242
243 6 char Parallel printer devices
244 0 = /dev/lp0 Parallel printer on parport0
245 1 = /dev/lp1 Parallel printer on parport1
246 ...
247
248 Current Linux kernels no longer have a fixed mapping
249 between parallel ports and I/O addresses. Instead,
250 they are redirected through the parport multiplex layer.
251
252 7 char Virtual console capture devices
253 0 = /dev/vcs Current vc text contents
254 1 = /dev/vcs1 tty1 text contents
255 ...
256 63 = /dev/vcs63 tty63 text contents
257 128 = /dev/vcsa Current vc text/attribute contents
258 129 = /dev/vcsa1 tty1 text/attribute contents
259 ...
260 191 = /dev/vcsa63 tty63 text/attribute contents
261
262 NOTE: These devices permit both read and write access.
263
264 7 block Loopback devices
265 0 = /dev/loop0 First loopback device
266 1 = /dev/loop1 Second loopback device
267 ...
268
269 The loopback devices are used to mount filesystems not
270 associated with block devices. The binding to the
271 loopback devices is handled by mount(8) or losetup(8).
272
273 8 block SCSI disk devices (0-15)
274 0 = /dev/sda First SCSI disk whole disk
275 16 = /dev/sdb Second SCSI disk whole disk
276 32 = /dev/sdc Third SCSI disk whole disk
277 ...
278 240 = /dev/sdp Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk
279
280 Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
281 disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
282 partitions is 15.
283
284 9 char SCSI tape devices
285 0 = /dev/st0 First SCSI tape, mode 0
286 1 = /dev/st1 Second SCSI tape, mode 0
287 ...
288 32 = /dev/st0l First SCSI tape, mode 1
289 33 = /dev/st1l Second SCSI tape, mode 1
290 ...
291 64 = /dev/st0m First SCSI tape, mode 2
292 65 = /dev/st1m Second SCSI tape, mode 2
293 ...
294 96 = /dev/st0a First SCSI tape, mode 3
295 97 = /dev/st1a Second SCSI tape, mode 3
296 ...
297 128 = /dev/nst0 First SCSI tape, mode 0, no rewind
298 129 = /dev/nst1 Second SCSI tape, mode 0, no rewind
299 ...
300 160 = /dev/nst0l First SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
301 161 = /dev/nst1l Second SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
302 ...
303 192 = /dev/nst0m First SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
304 193 = /dev/nst1m Second SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
305 ...
306 224 = /dev/nst0a First SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
307 225 = /dev/nst1a Second SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
308 ...
309
310 "No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
311 automatic rewind on device close. The MTREW or MTOFFL
312 ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
313 the device used to access it.
314
315 9 block Metadisk (RAID) devices
316 0 = /dev/md0 First metadisk group
317 1 = /dev/md1 Second metadisk group
318 ...
319
320 The metadisk driver is used to span a
321 filesystem across multiple physical disks.
322
323 10 char Non-serial mice, misc features

2819 The OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tapes do not support the
2820 standard SCSI SASD command set and therefore need
2821 their own driver "osst". Note that the IDE, USB (and
2822 maybe ParPort) versions may be driven via ide-scsi or
2823 usb-storage SCSI emulation and this osst device and
2824 driver as well. The ADR-x0 drives are QIC-157
2825 compliant and don't need osst.

3025 **** ADDITIONAL /dev DIRECTORY ENTRIES
3026
3027This section details additional entries that should or may exist in
3028the /dev directory. It is preferred that symbolic links use the same
3029form (absolute or relative) as is indicated here. Links are
3030classified as "hard" or "symbolic" depending on the preferred type of
3031link; if possible, the indicated type of link should be used.
3032
3033
3034 Compulsory links
3035
3036These links should exist on all systems:
3037
3038/dev/fd /proc/self/fd symbolic File descriptors
3039/dev/stdin fd/0 symbolic stdin file descriptor
3040/dev/stdout fd/1 symbolic stdout file descriptor
3041/dev/stderr fd/2 symbolic stderr file descriptor
3042/dev/nfsd socksys symbolic Required by iBCS-2
3043/dev/X0R null symbolic Required by iBCS-2
3044
3045Note: /dev/X0R is <letter X>-<digit 0>-<letter R>.
3046
3047 Recommended links
3048
3049It is recommended that these links exist on all systems:
3050
3051/dev/core /proc/kcore symbolic Backward compatibility
3052/dev/ramdisk ram0 symbolic Backward compatibility
3053/dev/ftape qft0 symbolic Backward compatibility

3055/dev/radio radio0 symbolic Backward compatibility
3056/dev/i2o* /dev/i2o/* symbolic Backward compatibility
3057/dev/scd? sr? hard Alternate SCSI CD-ROM name
3058
3059 Locally defined links
3060
3061The following links may be established locally to conform to the
3062configuration of the system. This is merely a tabulation of existing
3063practice, and does not constitute a recommendation. However, if they
3064exist, they should have the following uses.
3065
3066/dev/mouse mouse port symbolic Current mouse device
3067/dev/tape tape device symbolic Current tape device
3068/dev/cdrom CD-ROM device symbolic Current CD-ROM device
3069/dev/cdwriter CD-writer symbolic Current CD-writer device
3070/dev/scanner scanner symbolic Current scanner device
3071/dev/modem modem port symbolic Current dialout device
3072/dev/root root device symbolic Current root filesystem
3073/dev/swap swap device symbolic Current swap device
3074
3075/dev/modem should not be used for a modem which supports dialin as
3076well as dialout, as it tends to cause lock file problems. If it
3077exists, /dev/modem should point to the appropriate primary TTY device
3078(the use of the alternate callout devices is deprecated).
3079
3080For SCSI devices, /dev/tape and /dev/cdrom should point to the
3081``cooked'' devices (/dev/st* and /dev/sr*, respectively), whereas
3082/dev/cdwriter and /dev/scanner should point to the appropriate generic
3083SCSI devices (/dev/sg*).
3084
3085/dev/mouse may point to a primary serial TTY device, a hardware mouse
3086device, or a socket for a mouse driver program (e.g. /dev/gpmdata).
3087
3088 Sockets and pipes
3089
3090Non-transient sockets and named pipes may exist in /dev. Common entries are:
3091
3092/dev/printer socket lpd local socket
3093/dev/log socket syslog local socket
3094/dev/gpmdata socket gpm mouse multiplexer
3095

3097
3098The following names are reserved for mounting special filesystems
3099under /dev. These special filesystems provide kernel interfaces that
3100cannot be provided with standard device nodes.

3103/dev/shm tmpfs POSIX shared memory maintenance access
3104
3105 **** TERMINAL DEVICES
3106
3107Terminal, or TTY devices are a special class of character devices. A
3108terminal device is any device that could act as a controlling terminal
3109for a session; this includes virtual consoles, serial ports, and
3110pseudoterminals (PTYs).
3111
3112All terminal devices share a common set of capabilities known as line
3113diciplines; these include the common terminal line dicipline as well
3114as SLIP and PPP modes.
3115
3116All terminal devices are named similarly; this section explains the
3117naming and use of the various types of TTYs. Note that the naming
3118conventions include several historical warts; some of these are
3119Linux-specific, some were inherited from other systems, and some
3120reflect Linux outgrowing a borrowed convention.
3121
3122A hash mark (#) in a device name is used here to indicate a decimal
3123number without leading zeroes.
3124
3125 Virtual consoles and the console device
3126
3127Virtual consoles are full-screen terminal displays on the system video
3128monitor. Virtual consoles are named /dev/tty#, with numbering
3129starting at /dev/tty1; /dev/tty0 is the current virtual console.
3130/dev/tty0 is the device that should be used to access the system video
3131card on those architectures for which the frame buffer devices
3132(/dev/fb*) are not applicable. Do not use /dev/console
3133for this purpose.
3134
3135The console device, /dev/console, is the device to which system
3136messages should be sent, and on which logins should be permitted in
3137single-user mode. Starting with Linux 2.1.71, /dev/console is managed
3138by the kernel; for previous versions it should be a symbolic link to
3139either /dev/tty0, a specific virtual console such as /dev/tty1, or to
3140a serial port primary (tty*, not cu*) device, depending on the
3141configuration of the system.
3142
3143 Serial ports
3144
3145Serial ports are RS-232 serial ports and any device which simulates
3146one, either in hardware (such as internal modems) or in software (such
3147as the ISDN driver.) Under Linux, each serial ports has two device
3148names, the primary or callin device and the alternate or callout one.
3149Each kind of device is indicated by a different letter. For any
3150letter X, the names of the devices are /dev/ttyX# and /dev/cux#,
3151respectively; for historical reasons, /dev/ttyS# and /dev/ttyC#
3152correspond to /dev/cua# and /dev/cub#. In the future, it should be
3153expected that multiple letters will be used; all letters will be upper
3154case for the "tty" device (e.g. /dev/ttyDP#) and lower case for the
3155"cu" device (e.g. /dev/cudp#).
3156
3157The names /dev/ttyQ# and /dev/cuq# are reserved for local use.
3158
3159The alternate devices provide for kernel-based exclusion and somewhat
3160different defaults than the primary devices. Their main purpose is to
3161allow the use of serial ports with programs with no inherent or broken
3162support for serial ports. Their use is deprecated, and they may be
3163removed from a future version of Linux.
3164
3165Arbitration of serial ports is provided by the use of lock files with
3166the names /var/lock/LCK..ttyX#. The contents of the lock file should
3167be the PID of the locking process as an ASCII number.
3168
3169It is common practice to install links such as /dev/modem
3170which point to serial ports. In order to ensure proper locking in the
3171presence of these links, it is recommended that software chase
3172symlinks and lock all possible names; additionally, it is recommended
3173that a lock file be installed with the corresponding alternate
3174device. In order to avoid deadlocks, it is recommended that the locks
3175are acquired in the following order, and released in the reverse:
3176
3177 1. The symbolic link name, if any (/var/lock/LCK..modem)
3178 2. The "tty" name (/var/lock/LCK..ttyS2)
3179 3. The alternate device name (/var/lock/LCK..cua2)
3180
3181In the case of nested symbolic links, the lock files should be
3182installed in the order the symlinks are resolved.
3183
3184Under no circumstances should an application hold a lock while waiting
3185for another to be released. In addition, applications which attempt
3186to create lock files for the corresponding alternate device names
3187should take into account the possibility of being used on a non-serial
3188port TTY, for which no alternate device would exist.
3189
3190 Pseudoterminals (PTYs)
3191
3192Pseudoterminals, or PTYs, are used to create login sessions or provide
3193other capabilities requiring a TTY line dicipline (including SLIP or
3194PPP capability) to arbitrary data-generation processes. Each PTY has
3195a master side, named /dev/pty[p-za-e][0-9a-f], and a slave side, named
3196/dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]. The kernel arbitrates the use of PTYs by
3197allowing each master side to be opened only once.
3198
3199Once the master side has been opened, the corresponding slave device
3200can be used in the same manner as any TTY device. The master and
3201slave devices are connected by the kernel, generating the equivalent
3202of a bidirectional pipe with TTY capabilities.
3203
3204Recent versions of the Linux kernels and GNU libc contain support for
3205the System V/Unix98 naming scheme for PTYs, which assigns a common
3206device, /dev/ptmx, to all the masters (opening it will automatically
3207give you a previously unassigned PTY) and a subdirectory, /dev/pts,
3208for the slaves; the slaves are named with decimal integers (/dev/pts/#
3209in our notation). This removes the problem of exhausting the
3210namespace and enables the kernel to automatically create the device
3211nodes for the slaves on demand using the "devpts" filesystem.
