Re: new type of drive designation

In the past the drives would be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.

In this one, if I plug in a USB stick, the drive letter is /dev/sda. However, the NVMe SDD that I put in it was given the designation /dev/nvme0n1, with each partition being /dev/nvme0n1p1, /dev/nvme0n1p2, etc.

When this styling of names appears in network devices, I set net.ifnames=0 in the kernel command line in file /etc/default/grub. But what is the corresponding incantation for these drives? Roger
