Where is /dev/mtdX on Linux-3.8.0-rc7+

Hi, All

It seems "MTD partitioning support" CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS has been deleted some time ago, at least not exist on Linux-3.8.0-rc7+. And there is no /dev/mtdx neither, so how do I make it happen?

thanks in advance!

Hi Bill,

I had a look at the following patchs.

I think the only way to define different partition layout is to pass it as command line argument to kernel.

Refer this for mtdparts argument description.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c?id=refs/tags/v3.8.7

I am thinking that the device file /dev/mtdx will be present since the char diver code is still existing in the kernel mainline.(line no 1254)

Yuva
