Just confirming the above. The old IDE kernel subsystem, with its /dev/ |
| 21 |
hdX devices, is still around, but deprecated. Most IDE hardware users |
| 22 |
now use the libata SATA/PATA system, with its /dev/sdX devices. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you wish, you could of course configure udev so it produced /dev/hdX |
| 25 |
devices as well (symlinks) or instead, but they'd still be libata PATA |
| 26 |
devices, just named the old hda names. |
