How is the SDA mapped to the hard disk?
On the other hand, the ideal solution in my mind would be, the /dev/sda is mapped to the same hard disk in every boot. Imaginary, this can be achieved by saving a file named “bootmap” on the hard disk. And “/sda” is written in the “bootmap” file. While the system boot, if it finds “/sda” inside “bootmap”, the drive is mapped to /dev/sda.
How to swap SDA with SDB in Linux?
To illustrate the problem further from what I found on the internet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569238&page=2 (Reminds me of ‘Schadenfreude’) This chap seems to have found the solution, just didn’t share it (boo!): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944515 And tbh, I have a potential similar hazard.
Can a permanent labelling be used on / dev / sda?
Yes, permanent labellings works where you can use them, but if a program is hardcoded to use eg. /dev/sda, this question persists. To illustrate the problem further from what I found on the internet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569238&page=2 (Reminds me of ‘Schadenfreude’)
Where do I find / SDA in bootmap?
And “/sda” is written in the “bootmap” file. While the system boot, if it finds “/sda” inside “bootmap”, the drive is mapped to /dev/sda. If it finds “/sdb”, it maps to /dev/sdb.
Can you install Windows 10 on a separate SSD?
You may begin installation once your partition plan is frozen. Next, during installation, at the time of dividing your SSD into partitions, be careful enough to select /dev/sdb. Because device /dev/sda has Windows-10 already installed. Once you cross this hurdle, the remaining part of installation is a cakewalk.
Is it possible to dual boot with two SSDs?
In this installation answer session for dual-booted desktop with two separate SSDs, the required procedure will be fully explained in detail. The act of plugging and unplugging of SSDs from their sockets for dual-boot installation were discouraged and completely condemned because that act was going to harm your computer hardware.
Is it OK to partition Windows 10 to C drive?
Select /dev/sda for windows-10 installation. This way you will always remember that sda is meant for windows-10 and you will always remember it. You should never partition SSD! Allocate entire 250 GB to ‘C’ drive and have all the windows related systems and other programs in ‘C’ drive.
How are / dev / sda and / dev-sdb chosen?
The designation /dev/sda and /dev/sdb can be arbitrary as you can see. From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Persistent_block_device_naming If your machine has more than one SATA, SCSI or IDE disk controller, the order in which their corresponding device nodes are added is arbitrary.
How big of a raid do you need for / dev / sda?
Here, my Samsung device is 40GB (that I would like as /dev/sda), and my big Areca Raid is 6TB (that I would like as /dev/sdb). What do the errors mean? Are these errors the cause of the kernel, or the cause of a rule file still running before my 00-corrections.rules from udev?
Why are device names / dev / sda chosen on boot?
If your machine has more than one SATA, SCSI or IDE disk controller, the order in which their corresponding device nodes are added is arbitrary. This may result in device names like /dev/sda and /dev/sdb switching around on each boot, culminating in an unbootable system, kernel panic, or a block device disappearing.
