I'm using the 2.4.x version of the MTD cvs.
I recently created over 9 MTD partitions and I noticed that /dev/mtdblock had
incorrect names for entries 10 and 11 instead they were ":" and ";". The
/dev/mtd directory was OK though.
e.g
/root # ll /dev/mtdblock
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 ./
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 ../
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 0 Jan 1 1970 0
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 1 Jan 1 1970 1
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 2 Jan 1 1970 2
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 3 Jan 1 1970 3
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 4 Jan 1 1970 4
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 5 Jan 1 1970 5
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 6 Jan 1 1970 6
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 7 Jan 1 1970 7
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 8 Jan 1 1970 8
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 9 Jan 1 1970 9
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 10 Jan 1 1970 :
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 31, 11 Jan 1 1970 ;
solution (assuming number of partitions does not exceed 99!):
