What "true" anyway, one would wonder
True in that regard is a name that is a) based on a path b) refers to a device as opposed to a medium To illustrate my point: /dev/disk/by-path pci-0000:02:00.0-nvme-1 pci-0000:02:00.0-nvme-1-part4 pci-0000:06:00.3-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:3 pci-0000:06:00.3-usbv2-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:3 pci-0000:02:00.0-nvme-1-part1 pci-0000:06:00.3-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 pci-0000:06:00.3-usbv2-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 pci-0000:02:00.0-nvme-1-part2 pci-0000:06:00.3-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1 pci-0000:06:00.3-usbv2-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1 pci-0000:02:00.0-nvme-1-part3 pci-0000:06:00.3-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:2 pci-0000:06:00.3-usbv2-0:1.3.4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:2 /dev/disk/by-uuid/ 6b557439-a722-46c6-b9fa-e3395a5f4d40 722799ab-821e-4921-9c20-f97d284ca32e 9C52-D41D fe8a60ac-2e5b-4090-a9eb-d68149568dfb A lot of devices (not media) that exist and need to be referred to somehow.
