how about this?
/dev/sd/h0c0t0u0p2
There. that should make everyone happy...
first part after the /dev describes the type of device so
you can have /dev/scd/.... , /dev/sgd
and preserve all the current names
I think either /dev/dsk/sd_... or /dev/sd/... are both reasonable choices.
I am now wondering what the rationale is for using "p" rather than "s" for the
partition number. I cannot think of any particularly compelling reason for
either choice. "p" is somewhat more mnemonic, but I find "s" slightly more
esthetic (since "p" would be the only character with a descender) and it is
compatible with other systems. So how about:
/dev/sd/h0c0t0u0s2
versus
/dev/dsk/sd_h0c0t0u0s2
I think I personally would prefer the former.
