The patch you included in -ac6 from Neil Brown for fs/partitions/check.c was
a quick&dirty thing he wrote up on the mailing list, and it does not work at
all. In fact, with that patch in place disk_name() will never call devfs to
generate a disk name path at all, because of the way the unit number is
computed. Attached is the patch that I created a couple of days ago when I
first found this problem; it corrects the problem and also removes some
extraneous code from disk_name().
