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

Does that mean you have a Gateway brand computer? ;P John

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... -

A better one (for those with multiple systems) would be: What are the names of the computers on your local net? Mine are: Beast (my Gaming/Dev box - Athlon 1Ghz, 640MB ram, etc.) POS (my girlfriends' computer, a crappy eMachine) Calculator (my stripped down 486 I use as a gateway) RoadTrip (my old laptop) Jinx (my problem laden newer laptop - named before the headaches...)

I know, but I swear I read a manual/howto somewhere which stated that you could label the partitions with "virtual" disk names. These disk names where then used in the mount tables instead of the device entry names, thus the order of the order of IDE discs and SCSI id's could be ignored. I can't remember if LILO had any insight in this as well. It might have been a *BSD as well, I'm not sure, it was a long time ago (1-2 years) since I read about it. Since I don't move around my drives very often I didn't bother to do a setup. And should I ever do that, I always prepare the fstab one last time before I rearrange my disks. Besides, I use GRUB, so I can quite easily recoved should I mess up (drive mapping, boot shell, etc) :) -- You still have your old friend Zoidberg. You all have Zoidberg!
