I personally hate this device naming semantic (/dev/rdsk/c-t-d

Because almost everyone gets bitten by this.
I've heard lots of people complain about this over the years. Some
claim the SunOS model (or the slightly altered Linux one) was better,
others hate what we have but don't know what to do to fix it.
So whats your proposal ?
I just booted up Minix 3.1.1 today in Qemu and noticed to my surprise
that it has a disk nameing scheme similar to what Solaris uses.
It has c?d?p?s? note that both p (PC FDISK I assume) and s is used,
HP-UX uses the same scheme.
I think any system descending from the old SysV branch has the c?t?d?
s? naming convention.
I don't remember which version first used it but as far as I remember
it was already used in the mid 80's.
