Would it be a bad idea to start using device names which would resemble more 
Solaris device naming than Linux?  

For example the device names of hard disks in linux go: sda1 sda2 sda3 and so 
on, but in Solaris they go on: c0t0d0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0

Where c = controller, t = scsi target and d = lun.  So when I add one device 
the numbering stays same, and c0t0d0 refers to same disk unlike in Linux where 
the mapping can change (more easily than in Solaris).


I haven't been thinking this for long, so there may not be any sense in this 
but please give it a tought.
