Hi, so as you plugin a USB-disk, the kernel will recognize it, and it will be called sda, sdb, sdc or whatever ...
I don't like that - why doesn't it get some more usefull device-name? Some device name, that a) indicates, that it is usb (for example put them to /dev/usb) and b) uses a numering not depending on how many harddisk there are in the system So for example /dev/usb/uda could be a symlink to /dev/sdb, /dev/usb/uda1 a symlink to /dev/sdb1 etc. (In this case, sda would be a normal harddisk, which is the reason why the usb-device is sdb) So i don't know any other distribution doing it like that. So what do you think? - is it possible? - is it a good idea? - is it such a good idea, so that gentoo becomes the first distribution doing it? - is it a bad idea to differ from all the other distros out there? Thanks, Sven
