Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to interpret the above
numbers? Specifically, the 08:05 .. I've seen 08:06 ??
It is hard to imagine that you don't know this and still ask this question,
but since you ask: in 08:05 the 08 is the major and the 05 is the minor.
An ls -l /dev | grep "8, 5" will show that this is sda5.
(Yes, and 08:06 is sda6.)
For future use: the ls output is in decimal, these kernel messages use hex.
