Question! I'm a bit confused on the new kernels and hard drives, optical devices. According to what I'm reading, any kernel 2.6.19 or above is now using the new libata module for drives. What this does basically is change all devices that were labeled as hdxx to sdxx designation. Is that correct so far?
Now if you have SATA drives, they are already sdxx designated, so no changes are necessary in Grub or Lilo or /etc/fstab. But, if you have anything labeled with hdxx, those must be changed to sdxx to be recognized? Also, if that is correct, what happens to programs like k3b in seeing the drives? So let's say I have a dual SATA, not counting the Raid, and those will be sda & sdb, right? Now I have two optical devices, cdwriter, dvdwriter as hdc & hdd presently, so those become sde & sdf now? sata=sda sata=sdb hda=sdc hdb=sdd hdc=sde hdd=sdf Is my logic right or do optical devices not count in the whole scheme of things?? thanks, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
