"If the name of the device node that has been speci■ fied on such a system refers to exactly one SCSI device, a shorthand in the form dev= devicename:@ or dev= devicename:@,lun may be used instead of dev= devicename:scsibus,target,lun."
So @ is equal to 0,0,0 or 0,0?
Threads indicated that every device under linux is "exactly one SCSI device", which is why I was asking for this behind-the-scenes translation of /dev/hdc into /dev/hdc:@.
