Re: Are all Ubuntu IDE drives now sda?

Yes, they are switching over all ide drives to new libata code (in the
kernel). Libata was originally meant just for s-ata, but now the intention
is to use it for alla kinds of ata/ide. The old code is still there however,
in case the new code doesn't support your system. And libata takes advantage
of the scsi subsystem

On bootup, the system is calling the partitions sda1 and sda5 (root

So my question is, has Ubuntu given up the old HDA nomenclature in

of SDA in all cases of PATA and SATA drives?

Hello James.

The switch to sda is fine by me. I just wanted to make sure nothing
"funny" was happening since I was expecting PATA IDE would be called
'hda' etc.
