I agree with Michael that we should either have numbers or names, but not both. http://bugs.debian.org/553896 came in today, which is just another instance of confusion resulting from multiple choices. I personally don't have a problem with numbers; they are as meaningless or -full as partition numbers, and I used stuff like /dev/sda5 on my systems for decades without problems. The trend these days is dm/LVM, and that gives us decent names like /dev/mapper/home, and I see the benefit in moving towards /dev/md/home, but it needs to be done consistently, and either one or the other. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "if ever somethin' don't feel right to you, remember what pancho said to the cisco kid... `let's win, before we are dancing at the end of a rope, without music.'" -- sailor spamtraps: madduck.bogus@xxxxxxxxxxx
