Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 21:16:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPi0psvtcWe8ak-H0ULnXSJxXHAm6k1+ejF-PpDMeYX7qJCskQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
Who or what decides to name a hard drive /dev/sda vs /dev/sdb?
How does it decide what order to enumerate the drives on my computer?
When in the boot process does is a disk given a name like "/dev/sda"?
Thank you,
Chris
