#!/bin/sh
# Script to create device nodes for SMART array controllers
# Usage:
# mkdev.ida [num controllers] [num log volumes] [num partitions]
#
# With no arguments, the script assumes 1 controller, 16 logical volumes,
# and 16 partitions/volume, which is adequate for most configurations.
#
# If you had 5 controllers and were planning on no more than 4 logical volumes
# each, using a maximum of 8 partitions per volume, you could say:
#
# mkdev.ida 5 4 8
#
# Of course, this has no real benefit over "mkdev.ida 5" except that it
# doesn't create so many device nodes in /dev/ida.
