On my system, the device node is /def/fd0u1440, not /dev/fd0H1440.
According to the fd man page:
3.5 inch high density device files:
Name Capac. Cyl. Sect. Heads Base minor #
fdnH1440 1440K 80 18 2 28
And that's what MAKEDEV created for me.
In any case, you should not need to run MAKEDEV - udev is supposed
to take care of creating device nodes. If you create your own, it
will not survive a reboot.
[mrsam@commodore dev]$ ls -al fd0H1440 fd0u1440
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 28 2009-09-22 19:52 fd0H1440
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 28 2009-09-22 19:52 fd0u1440
It's the same device node.
I don't know whether at some point in the last couple of years the commonly
accepted naming convention for floppy device nodes has changed, or if this
is a Fedora-ism. If the standard naming convention has changed, then I'll
update floppy as soon as I see where the new naming convention is
documented. But, as of now, this is what the fd man page says the naming
convention should be, and that's what MAKEDEV creates.
