But it's just annoying. How I miss "/dev/sda"...

you should not miss it, it's one of the worse ideas and sane
distributions are not relying on those names.

What I meant was the simplicity for the user. You can't deny that.


IMO, it would be nice if partition driver was available as ddf driver.
each block device would register raw (external function) and blkdrv
(internal) function. partition driver then recognizes known partition
schemes (registering new block devices) or refuses to control the
function.
mount and other block device utilities will work with devices in block
category providing whatever IDs they want (name, UUID, WWN, serial
number, ...).

I'm not talking about the implementation. I'm talking about the difference between writing "/dev/sda" or any other block device, including files versus that "devices/\hw\..." madness I mentioned earlier. Just consider user interaction.


any thoughts?
