SubjectSolaris partitions (was devfs)
<DELURK>
Richard/Leonard--
An excerpt from a Solaris 2.5.1/x86 system's /etc/vfstab follows:

### File: /etc/vfstab
### System: Solaris 2.5.1/x86, using only IDE disks
### Note: System boots into NT Workstation, Solaris, and Win95 for
### testing...FAT16 partition used for NT/95 boot partition
### and to allow information interchange between the OSs.
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
/dev/dsk/c0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s6 /usr ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c - /win95 pcfs - yes -


### EOF: /etc/vfstab

The "p" is only used when referring to non-Solaris partitions on the disk,
AFAIK. Otherwise, the nomenclature is Controller/Drive/Slice for IDE,
and Controller/Target(LUN)/Drive/Slice for SCSI.

Personally, as has already been pointed out in other messages, I see no
direct advantage to "compatibility" with Solaris or other naming schemes,
if it comes at the expense of comprehensibility.
