I was working on a system where sda is the system disk, and sdb was to get a new partition map; powered down for something; connected an external USB disk; rebooted; partitioned sdb... The names of internal disks change without notice. This, IMHO, is an extremely lame idea. I know better now, but it was an expensive lesson. - -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkeKR4ACgkQ04yQfZbbTLbmfgCgoZSYLc2DEJx91vEmF/GMFcgv /pMAniPWA6l6NHX80H0qbyimd2c560oD =UcNo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
