  94      -.sp
  95   91  .LP
  96   92  See \fBlargefile\fR(5) for the description of the behavior of \fBmknod\fR when
  97   93  encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

 104      -.sp
 105   99  .LP
 106  100  If \fBmknod\fR(2) is used to create a device, the major and minor device
 107  101  numbers are always interpreted by the kernel running on that machine.
 108  102  .sp
 109  103  .LP
 110  104  With the advent of physical device naming, it would be preferable to create a
 111  105  symbolic link to the physical name of the device (in the \fB/devices\fR
 112  106  subtree) rather than using \fBmknod\fR.
