Here there's no .00 in the names like in the dmesg message. What is then ata1.00 exactly?
Device with address 00 on SATA port with running number 1.
Why is .00 attached to the device name in dmesg? What does it mean?
While normally SATA is point to point and there is exactly one device on each port (connector), there exist SATA PMP (Port Multiplier - similar to USB hubs) that allows connecting more than one device to SATA port. So number after digit isalmost always 00 except when you have PMP connected. Then it designates specific device connected to PMP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
