/dev/sdaa, seehttps://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2010/12/msg00025.html
Hopefully I will never learn first hand that /dev/sdzz is followed by /dev/sdaaa
I've got one system that has 220 disks (don't ask). While many of them are RAID'ed, I've had as many as 96 as JBOD's. I believe I got down to /dev/sddx at one point. I always wondered how a Windows server would handle all those disks...
Believe it or not, Windows assigns every volume it sees a volume number and it supports mount points, so after you fill up the drive letters you can use "diskpart" to mount a volume to NTFS folder. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753321.aspx#BKMK_CMD I think the biggest difference is that if there is a drive letter available, Windows will automatically use it. If there isn't, the user (admin) has to mount it manually. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
