Hi all, I'm planning to upgrade my laptop drive. While preparing for the exchange, I found that the default options to refer to the disk drive are crap for my use case: susi:~ # cat /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVS-08VAT2_WD-WX20AC9U2733 This will work if I put the current drive into another computer, but it will fail miserably when dd'ing the contents of this disk onto another drive ;-) So I was looking for another way to refer to the disk. Probably for now, the /dev/disk/by-path will have to do, as it will stay the same in this machine. However, I was wondering what happened to edd which was usable before (maybe long ago). "modprobe edd" seems to do nothing, no links are created in /dev/disk/... /sys/firmware/edd/int13_dev80/ contains data, so something seems to be obtained from the disk... Is this no longer really supported or are the missing links simply a bug?
