How to name my hard disk

Prepare to install Linux, how does it name my hard disk?

A: Linux processing of the hard disk, and DOS system is basically the same, first partition, and then format. The commands for partitioning are different. Under DOS, each partition is represented by an English letter, while under Linux it is more flexible. It identifies the hard disk partition by a combination of letters and numbers.

For example, "hda1", hd is a part that represents the IDE hard disk. If it is a SCSI hard disk, it is sa; a represents the main hard disk of IDE1 port (2 represents the IDE1 port from the hard disk, 3 represents the IDE2 port master hard disk, 4 represents the IDE2 port slave hard disk); the last number represents the partition order on the device, the first four partitions (primary partition and extended partition) are represented by 1-4, and the soft logical partition starts from 5. .
