# The blockdev can be a whole device or a partition.
# descriptors contain:
# - name, path as found in /sys (sda, sda/sda1)
# - devno, as found in /sys (8:1)
# - parent, undef for whole device, maj:minor of parent otherwise
# - hw, path to underlying hardware device,
# 		eg an ide controller somewhere on a PCI bus.
#		this is a path relative to /sys/devices,
#		and can be undef (eg for ram disk)
# - yspecial, a block special file giving access to the device
# 		in the generated initrd image.
#		Starts being undefined.
# - creator, the tool that will be used when booting to create
#		yspecial; this may
# - partitions, list of partitions contained in the device.
#		these partitions are also ActiveBlockDevs.
#
# NOTE: the partition list relies on ActiveBlockDevTab making
# a complete scan of all block devices, each partition registering
# itself as partition with the parent device.
#
#
# An issue that deserves special attention is the naming of block devices.
# Internally, the kernel uses major:minor numbers to keep track of devices;
# as an example, 3:1 could be used for the first partition of the first IDE disk.
# However, that's not how fsck and mount refer to block devices; they want a pathname
# for a block special file, like /dev/hda1.
# 
# If we want to use a block device on the initial boot image, for example because
# we want to mount it, we need to know the pathname that the device has.
# The tricky part is that there are different tools that can create the pathname
# for a device, and they all have different ideas of what is a good pathname.
# Different tools can use different names for the same kind of device.
# Here's an overview of tools that make block devices on initial boot images:
# 
# * mknod.  In the simple case, we do our own mknod after loading the modules
#   that activate the device.  We have a simple convention here: for a device
#   that shows up in /sys/block/hda, we create /dev/hda.
# 
# * lvm2 and cryptsetup.  These are both based on libdevmapper, and produce
#   a device file such as /dev/mapper/vg0-root; lvm2 adds a bit of sugar with
#   a symlink from /dev/vg0/root to /dev/mapper.
# 
# * mdadm.  Produces /dev/md0  [unless the configuration file fouls things up]
# 
# * evms.  This has its own library that puts pathnames in /dev/evms.
#   And it has compatibility modules, with name such as /dev/evms/lvm2/vg0/lv0,
#   and stuff like /dev/evms/.nodes/hdc, which you're not supposed to use.
# 
# * udev.  We don't currently use that, but it can generate pathnames
#   such as /dev/disk/by-label/root, that remain stable even if you change
#   the hardware.  (Or it can be configured to produce a completely random
#   pathname; udev is *very* flexible)
# 
# For yaird this means that when we create a device pathname, we must
# remember the tool we use.  Simplyfying a bit:
# 
#	my $abd = ActiveBlockDevTab::findByDevno("254:0");
# 	...
# 	$actions->add ("vgchange", $vgnam);
# 	...
# 	$abd->setCreatedBy ("lvm");
# 
# And it means that when we mount we need a function that
# 
# 	my $abd = ActiveBlockDevTab::findByDevno("254:0");
# 	...
# 	my $yspecial = $abd->yspecial();
# 	...
# 	$actions->add ("mount", $mountPoint, device => $yspecial);
# 
# Here the function yspecial() returns the pathname to use for a device; it
# needs to take into account the tool that was used to create the device:
# if it was created by lvm, use /dev/mapper/something, if it was created
# by evms, use /dev/evms/something.
# 
# Note that there are some consistency checks that we can add:
# if we ask for a name with yspecial() before any tool created the
# pathname, we have a bug in yaird.  If the same device is marked
# as created by first lvm, then later as created by mknod, that also
# suggests a bug.
