A classic: What is the name of your HD?
-
I tend to name mine after periodic table elements. At home: C: - Boron At work, it depends. If a machine is DriveImage'd, I always make the C: drive something "known", like OpSys, so it an be scripted easier. Otherwise, though, I stick with the chemical theme... I have (or have had) Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, etc. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.
Shouldn't C be "Carbon"?

Does it have a shiny metal ass? :suss: -- You still have your old friend Zoidberg. You all have Zoidberg!

Well, then I'd suddenly hit a brick wall. While 'C' could be carbon, what would 'D' be? There is no element 'D'. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

When I had two drives, I called my C drive Cool, and my D drive Dude. One time I had three drives and I called my E drive Excellent. :-) Ah, those were the days. Today it's just one big fat drive and I haven't bothered renaming it. Regards, Alvaro

What will you be running then? Linux? :) -- You still have your old friend Zoidberg. You all have Zoidberg!
Probably: we can't afford not supporting Linux anymore, and I think that, by then end of the year, Mono will be good enough to run our software. If, by the end of the year, it isn't good enough, we'll start collaborating to the Mono project until it is. OpenBSD is not an option yet, since most of our machines are SMP. You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

You can name partitions in Linux IIRC. The reason was to make the mount table disk independent so that you could swap disk position (hda2 instead of hda1) and it would still mount correctly. -- You still have your old friend Zoidberg. You all have Zoidberg!
Of course, you could always rename /dev/hda1 to /dev/oldhda1 and /dev/hda2 to /dev/oldhda2, then create symlinks from /dev/hda1 to /dev/oldhda2 and from /dev/hda2 to /dev/oldhda1. Linux and other UNIXes don't care about the actual names, they just care about the device type, major and minor function numbers recorded in the directory. When you tell LILO or
grubwhich disk to boot from for a particular entry, it looks up the directory entry you specified and records the actual major and minor function numbers in the generated boot sector. Actually, there is an option to get the Linux kernel to generate the /dev file system in memory, since 2.3.42 - see devfs[^]. However, this is a bit fraught with backwards compatibility issues, and is often turned off. This kind of thing does tend to lead to your USB devices moving about if you change which port they're plugged into, IIRC. In this area, Windows is a hands-down winner: devices are identified by their serial numbers and are enumerable by class or interface (seeSetupDiGetClassDevs), they don't move about very much, and mappings usually persist. OK, it's still not perfect, but...
