Because it was set up that way 8 years ago. /dev/hda is the only IDE |
20 |
drive in the system, and has the MBR, so I can't make /dev/hda an LVM |
21 |
volume, it has to be /dev/hda1. I don't want to make some other drive |
22 |
the boot drive; they are LVM volumes also. And I also want an hd(0,x) |
23 |
for grub which doesn't change as I add new drives. |

Besides all that, why do you think it's a problem and how do you |
26 |
propose fixing it? |
