bdevsw_extra

Description

This parameter specifies an extra number of entries in the block device switch. This parameter is for use by loadable drivers only. If you configured a block device into the system at lboot(1M) time, you will not need to add extra entries to bdevsw.

Value

Default: 21

Range: 1-254

When to Change

Change this parameter when you have more than 21 block devices to load into dynamically the system. IRIX provides 21 spaces in the bdevsw by default.
