Btrfs devel - Aug 2007 - btrfs_mknod doesn't save device number.

Hello,

It's seen that btrfs_mknod doesn't save device number in rdev field of
inode. you can test the issue by: (1) create a device file with
non-zero major and minor device number (2) umount the filesystem (3)
mount the filesystem. after do the steps above, you can find both
major and minor device number become zero.

Best Regards
YZ

Hi, this one should have been fixed a while back, which version are you
testing?

I'd like to keep it out until we have code that can test it (ie the
sysfs work ;)
