My last attempt at LANANA for extended devt didn't get me anywhere and I'm not sure LANANA is handling miscdevice minors at all. If you go through the tree, there are quite a few duplicate allocations including FUSE_MINOR. At any rate, we can definitely try LANANA. > But maybe we can get away with a dynamic number, now that everyone > uses udev? It would still be nice to have static /dev/cuse and trying to open it can trigger "modprobe cuse". It's not like we're short of device number space anyway.
