Is it /dev/hda or /dev/sda? in opensuse 10.3
Hello all
I have 2 HDs : Code:
1- bus: IDE /dev/hda /dev/sda why openSUSE 10.3 says that is /dev/sda. I think it must be like this(like opensuse 10.2): /dev/hda /dev/sda not like this:(open suse 10.3): /dev/sda /dev/sdb because with the new names I had mounting problems any ides or information? thanks a lot |
The newer kernels are handling all hard drives, both ide and sata, under the scsi protocol. Consequently, the naming convention changes from hdx to sdx for ide hard drives and sata drives are still named sdx. This is part of the new libata in the kernel which is still undergoing fairly heavy development. Exactly what mounting problems are you having?

If you only change has been changing hdx to sdx, you can probably fix the mounting problems by editing /etc/fstab, and change every instance of hd to sd.
You should also check /boot/grub/menu.lst to see if it needs similar changes. |
thanks you kilgoretrout .. great tip about the kernel thing
yes that's right bigrigdriver. all what I needed is editing fstab & and it's working well now thank you all |
