As the kernel only reports fdN, udev only creates the main device.

To create the others I would need to write a dev.d script.
Should I do this? Are these devices still valid or are they deprecated?
(IIRC there is an IOCTL interface too, isn't it?)

Subject: Bug#273890: udev doesn't create all nodes necessary for floppy-driv

Package: udev
Version: 0.031-2
Severity: important

On my Debian Sid, udev doesn't create all the /dev/fd0*-device-nodes
which are necessary for some programs.
This renders at least one package (kfloppy) unusable with udev,
therefore I set the severity to "important". (See also Bug #264924)

Below you can find a list of the devicenodes which should be in /dev
(and are in /.dev) and the devicenode which was created by udev.
