Hi,
I see multiple names for my SCSI disks - perhaps more such things will come in the future. I'd rather like symlinks, e.g. sda -> sd_blah, because
* you'll know which is the "official" name, and which are only aliases for compatibility/ease of use/etc. * if you see an alias, you ls -l shows you the official name - you don't have to hunt it down.
Are there any deficiencies for symlinks (for example, speed)?
Robbe
