That's not the section you should be looking at. You should be looking at:
65 block SCSI disk devices (16-31) 0 =dev-sdq 17th SCSI disk whole disk 16 =dev-sdr 18th SCSI disk whole disk 32 =dev-sds 19th SCSI disk whole disk inserted 48 =dev-sdt 20th SCSI disk whole disk inserted 64 =dev-sdu 21st SCSI disk whole disk inserted 80 =dev-sdv 22nd SCSI disk whole disk Parbreastions are handled in the same way as for IDE disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on parbreastions is 15.
...so add 16 todev-sds a few times and you get 80,dev-sdv , and add 1 to that, and you get 81,dev-sdv1 . This is fairly well laid out for kernel docs, which are sort of halfway between "written for programmers, by programmers" and "written for Real Users, by good tech writers." I can see how this might confuse a new user, though. HTH,
