- The /dev/sd?1-scheme with ? counting upwards really irritates me. Yes, I can
see the use for it, but for removable USB drives, as opposed to fixed ones,
it's not good. How to fix? I'm thinking along the lines of either a) find a
kernel patch, or b) somehow listen to USB kernel messages in a daemon and
maintain symlinks that is set when plugging in the USB device (this event
listening could ideally update a list of available devices on the server).
udev is supposed to fix this problem. It's a replacement for devfs
(which is marked as obsolete in 2.6 kernel), and you can configure it so
that a USB drive gets created as /dev/usbdrive or some other name more
useful than /dev/sda1. However, I think it requires a 2.6 kernel, and I
don't know if you can use it with devfs at the same time, I don't think
so.. So maybe not so easy, but has anyone tried LTSP with udev?
