Ide cd changers. They have luns and you can't use partitions because CD's can have partitions.
Also, the new scheme makes alot more sence. It's very preety. IDE is alright where it is (if you dont consider luns) because it's location based. It's alot better then scsi.
If we have to make a change to support luns then lets make ide look like scsi.. :)
/dev/c0t0l0p0 is fine.. :) and you could even leave out l0 if the device has no luns and p0 if it has no partitions.
