minus-squareadr1an@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 days agoWhat happened to systems a-b-c… ?
minus-squareWaterWaiver@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoYou’ve got me sweating now thinking about this. What happened before System-V and sysvinit?
minus-squarenomy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoOddly (or not, depending on your views on versioning) System V was preceded by System III which was actually the first version.
minus-squarekunaltyagi@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 days agoSimply lovely. There long names are for mounting since they are persistent w ross reboots. The short ones can change of there are no mounting options or more or fewer devices than before. PS: even the networking devices have this funky naming
minus-squareEquinox1289@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·4 days agoI get nvme# as the drive number and p# as the partition number, but I never got what n# meant.
minus-squarejollyrogue@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 days agoNVMe drives can be partitioned by the hardware. There could be multiple drives on a drive and n# is the hardware partition.
minus-squareSpaghettiMaster@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoNamespace isn’t it? Are there any reasonable use cases for it
minus-squarejollyrogue@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoThat’s the name of it. 🙂 I was letting a dog outside and couldn’t remember the technical name. Under-provisioning the drive is the most common usage I’ve seen. Maybe passing it directly to a VM, but I haven’t tried that.
minus-squarebertlewirth@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoWell, for example, you need multiple partitions on a system drive. Such as swap, boot and the main partition for the OS
minus-squarejj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoThe namespaces are generally not used for that, since partition table does the job. Nvme bakes in a lot of “just in case” functions that fancy storage engineers imagine a use case for that are in practice superfluous.
