Can I rename /dev/sda to /dev/sd[b-z] if it's attached via USB, and |
| 17 |
then rename /dev/nvme0n1 to /dev/sda if /dev/nvme0n1 exists? |

Alternatively, can I rename /dev/sda to /dev/sd[b-z] if /dev/sda and |
| 20 |
/dev/nvme0n1 exist, and then rename /dev/nvme0n1 to /dev/sda if |
| 21 |
/dev/nvme0n1 exists? |
