How are the disk listed in /dev?
linux-git/fs/super.c: "Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...\n",
Thank you for the answer.
Here is the content of /dev:
Is this what you expect?Code:cyrille@ordi-cyrille:/dev$ ls -la | egrep 'hitach|sd' brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 oct. 20 10:43 hitachi1 brw------- 1 root root 8, 0 oct. 20 10:42 sda brw------- 1 root root 8, 1 oct. 20 10:42 sda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 oct. 20 10:43 sdb brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 oct. 20 10:43 sdb1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 oct. 20 10:43 sdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 33 oct. 20 10:43 sdc1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 34 oct. 20 10:43 sdc2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 35 oct. 20 10:43 sdc3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 oct. 20 10:42 sdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 64 oct. 20 10:42 sde brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 80 oct. 20 10:42 sdf brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 96 oct. 20 10:42 sdg brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 112 oct. 20 10:43 sdh brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 113 oct. 20 10:43 sdh1
Bad news, the /dev/sd* are somewhat arbitrary by design, they cannot be changed.
Look: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/l...st/040049.html

The fact that KDE partition manager still shows the partitions 'as is' is a good thing since you don't want to mess with that (imagine formatting the incorrect disk since the labels overlap!).
I guess that KDE partition manager still fetches the info from an ioctl() or from /proc/partitions (which are not under control by udev).
However, your problem with the "Hard disk status" plasmoid still stands in the fact that it should show all disks. That is a bug. I was under the impression you could work around this with udev. But I was wrong about that. Sorry for that.

So, change the sdx is not so easy.
It's not really a problem for me.
I leave them as they are.
The workaround for the plasmoide is to delete the line contain 'uuid' in ~/.kde/share/config/plasmadesktop-appletsrc.
It was very interesting to exchange about udev with you. I've learn a lot.
Certainly.
I will soon alert the developper of this plasmoid about this problem.
Thank you.
