This is more of a curiosity question than a problem. I just added a new |
| 2 |
diskdrive to my system. It's the same model as one I already have installed. |

lshw shows the following for the two disks: |

These are both SATA disks. Why is the first one showing up as /dev/sdc and the |
| 35 |
second as /dev/hdc? I thought all SATA disks would show up as sd* and EIDE |
| 36 |
disks showed up as hd*. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I note that the bus info is different - one showing the scsi bus and one the |
| 39 |
ide bus. Both devices are plugged into a row of SATA ports on my mobo. |
