Hello sluggers, if I want to change the name of a drive & partition from say hda1 to sda1, what do I need to do in addition to updating /etc/fstab ? If I just change fstab and try to boot a kernel using libata to access SATA drives, it can't find /dev/sda.
thanks
The device name is dictated by the device driver used for your drive.
If you are able to boot at all, check the output of your
#dmesg
before you modify your /etc/fstab.
What device name the kernel has used to recognise your drive ?
