[opensuse-factory] why is device called /dev/sda in aplha?
Hello 1.Why is in openSUSE alpha hardisk called /dev/sda not /dev/hda? 2.It´s only for alpha versions, or will it be in final openSUSE 10.3?Now i don´t know how command i can use if i want to mount usb keys.I´m confused from this(and i think that i´m not alone), becuase others distro use /dev/hda only suse use /dev/sda 3.I´m not sure, but purpose is libata for pata and sata ports?And both have got enabled dma automatically?Then it is needed kernel 2.6.15 or higher? Please somebody for explanation.

In the past, hdaX was IDE drives and sdaX was SCSI drives. We now use one kernel module for both IDE and SCSI. This, *I think*, is an upstream change.

Why are you confused? How did you managed to find and mount your USB drive in the past? Just use sdaX instead of hdaX when mounting the drive. Also, don't your USB drive mount autmatically when you are logged in to the GUI as a normal user (or is your install used without GUI?) If you are unsure, (forgive me GUI lovers) do a 'cat /proc/partitions' and you will see what devices you have.
Please somebody for explanation. Regards

In openSUSE 10.2 i manage to find and mount my usb automatically in GUI(or command mount /dev/sda1 /mnt), but in alpha4, and aplha5 it doesn´t work As you can see bugs: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=276477 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=274706#c22 So i don´t know how command to use, because in aplha4 and aplha5 i´ve tried to use command mount /dev/sda1,2,3.../mnt, but nothing.I´ve tried /dev/sdb1,2,3.../mnt also.
